Your CBR250R is an excellent machine. I would be proud to have one myself.
Regarding your decision between a CB1100 and an F 800 GT, I don't understand being limited to those two choices.
I have considerable familiarity with the roads of Kentucky and Kentucky-like places. I would also be considering the Honda NC700X and the BMW F 700 GS.
I like my CB1100 a lot, but it lacks the rough road capability that I swore my next bike would have. (Umm. I hope a certain rider named Pterodactyl doesn't read this line...)
I do understand your need to go bigger than your 250. Good luck finding the bike that's right for you. There are so many good choices out there these days. (Did I mention the Ducati Scrambler...)
