Well, since those of us in Nevada are getting a shot at this early decision making thing, I should get to put my 2 cents in as well.
Since the Rocket III (in it's latest incarnation) and the flashy new Street Triple are getting all the attention, it may well be one of those. I'm pretty sure that you're leaning toward the Street Triple. I still don't think that it'll be accepted though.
I think something from a tried and true marque would fit the Bill. We could say a Moto Guzzi Norge. Not so flashy, Not so well known, but should be good for the long run.
Of course, you may end up with a Vespa with a side hack
