The weight doesn't bother me since I'm 6'1" and can easily flat-foot it.
Can anybody think of a bike with these properties?

alprider -- As for DCT - no! I like shifting, I just want a lighter gear lever pull, which I can get for $500 and four hours of my time.
I do like the idea of a V4 but that is one weird engine. I see that the "x" is the adventure bike version. These almost all have no forward lean which would be unpleasant for my back.

or too chain the 2017 CB1100 has an easy going slipclutch...

Wish list motorcycles. Add in reality and do the best you can.

The DCT can be manually shifted, just as they have been doing in professional motor bike (and automobile) racing.postoak_imp said:

To shift quick? Lol
Yes. Or so you can say, ‘My bike’s got a quick shifter’.

I rode my son's bike with a quick shifter and I didn't shift any faster at all .... false advertising if you ask me

The BMW R1200R would be a 2 cyl that would get you almost there. Shaft drive and cruise, riding modes are customizable so you could essentially make it any horsepower you wanted between 123 and the minimum setting. 17" wheels, naked sport/tourer with all the toys you could want.

The 270-degree crank of the 850 would solve the problem of lack of character in the 180-degree crank F800GT.
Ah, yes. I do understand.
270 degree twin configurations seem to be popular, if not maybe standard now.
