Spend My Money!

Scenario: early 40s rider with 20 years experience. Looking to move from a cruiser to a more sporty bike with touring potential (hard bags). Budget is around $10k and enjoy spirited riding, but this bike will serve no track duty. I ride solo only so no two up consideration. Prefer engine with character to simply the most performance on paper. Dislike chains as final drive.
