All joking aside a busa would serve you well, the ergonomics on it are fairly comfortable for long rides, 45ish mpg iirc, very capable in the twistys, and plenty of power to spare. Down fall is price finding one at a good price is hard to do.
I don't mind being thanked for my service, I never liked the "did you ever kill any?" Question, I had a job to do and I did it. I made sure myself and the 12 men I was in charge of made it home.
