So far the closest thing to that that I have found at or near that price point is basically the Royal Enfield 500ish bikes

Was basically going to say RE. I've heard in reviews they have improved their quality problems. Mopeds are basically the donkey here too and often the more practical as they have storage at the cost of the style points. The Honda Rebel has several different cc engine types. Japanese bikes are pretty high quality. Yamaha has an MT 03 that is a good entry level and Kawasaki the Versys 300. Even small engines will be okay on the highway. Many can get to 80mph without to much struggle. Still I'd rather not if its long distance or something. Might stress the engine too much. Don't be shy about used but watch a few maintenance videos to pick up on what isn't normal/neglect

I appreciate the feedback!

I had been also looking at the Rebel and Versys...

I'll look at the MT 03 though, had not given that too much research time yet.

I'm not hard pressed to pick something right now, so... maybe I should just wait a bit and go for something in just a bit higher price tier...

But yeah, good to know that 'basically RE' is also roughly your answer to what my described 'requirements' ... means I am not totally delusional about all this, haha!
