Can anybody think of a bike with these properties? - postoak_imp - 10-30-2019
1) Naked or near naked
2) 4 cylinder
3) Cruise control
4) Gear Indicator
5) Wet clutch
6) Some forward body lean (10 - 15 degrees)
7) Standard foot position
8) Shaft or belt drive
9) Less than 100 HP
I can't think of one but maybe you guys with more experience can.

Yamaha MT 10 (my son has one) it also has the best sounding motor in the world IMO

edit..missed the shaft or belt drive part. The MT 10 has a chain
You can always get an FJR and leave off the bags..it has all of the above (note I have touring windshield on in this pic and not the sport shield which is 8" shorter I run all summer lol)

I use my gear indicator and cruise control constantly. I can do without a fuel gauge, traction control, and rider modes.
I added a HP qualification which eliminates the FJR1300 and the Ducati Diavel.

I like your list of requirements. Mine would be similar, though I'd also add fuel injection and ABS. The ol' Suzuki had neither.

I should add, I meant a bike made since 2014 or so.

No such animal meets all requirements. If you could live with a twin, you'd have some options.

Oops, I forgot, must have tach. I believe you are correct, no such animal.
What 2-cyl (or 3-cyl) would meet all these requirements? Cruise control and/or foward lean angle usually eliminates them.

Also didn't have cruise, but it was a great bike. I had an 81. Root beer brown. Loved it.

I'd love a bike with all of poastoaks requirements.

m in sc - that's a good point if they aren't common I should do a rethink without that requirement. I was just looking at the Throttlemeister which is a very clean and simple solution for an aftermarket cruise control.

A very simple solution is to buy a couple of bikes , even second hand ones. Have a different bike for your different rides.
