Best bike to own come the APOCALYPSE

Ok, so the politicians, lobbyists, lawyers, and corporations of the world have really screwed up bigtime and mushroom clouds have festooned the skies over all our major cities, and government and society are crumbling rapidly leading to chaos.
As a survivor of this chaos, getting around will entail the flexibility to go off road, because many major highways will have collapsed and possibly roving warlord gangs are holding the remaining highways for their own use, or for hefty tolls, however there are still plenty of miles of flat road which will require a lot of speed to chase down or run from the warlords' assault buggies.
Thus, you'd want a bike that can race convincingly on the roads, handle rough dirt roads at high speed and survive utter off-road chaos, all while going easy on gas as you'll most likely have to take lives to obtain even a gallon, and remaining easily fixable and hard to damage.
You'll also want enough torque to carry a lot of cargo, and the stability to stay straight while you fire an AK-47 or a shoulder-mounted missile, or wield a chain whip.
What bike would this be? (I'm guessing I will hear one answer a lot)
And for the record I'm not actually anticipating this happening, this is just for the hell of it.
