F800GS alternatives

[jparke]

I like all the characteristics of the 800GS but it's somewhat out of my budget (even used). What alternatives are out there in the US market? The characteristics I most like are, in order of importance: decent for 2-up touring at ~250 miles per day, more than ~60 or 65 hp, high clearance for rough roads/tracks, thin profile (sidewalk parking flexibility, squeezing through closed gates), less than 500 lbs wet, ideally 19 or 21 inch front wheel. Other things like electrical output, age, ABS, mechanical complexity, final drive, etc are somewhat less important.

I'm open to fairly straightforward customizations too. For example some inexpensive way to add a 19"/21" wheel to a Multistrada 1100 -- maybe a bad example but hopefully illustrates my point.

Thanks for your suggestions and advice. I really appreciate it.
