Back to my original post, are there other bikes that I am missing that I should be considering?

BMW R1200R or F800R

LOVE the F800R, but you might enjoy the torque of the 1200 motor better.

I wanted one of those BMW's but just out of my price range

I got my hyper for $9200 out the door

I went to the BMW and Aprilia dealer and they wouldn't even negotiate on the BMW pricing. $12,000 for a F800R before taxes etc..

The 750 Shiver and Duro I talked them down to $8000 OTD
