Default Sold my supermoto, what now?

I sold my KTM 625 supermoto. Now I need something to replace it, what do you suggest?

I want something with a comfortable upright seating position for day long riding, awesome handling on tight backroads, big enough to easily cruise on the highway from time to time. It'll be used about 80% street, 20% light gravel/easy dirt roads/trails. Ability to carry a passenger is a non issue. I'm more concerned about being able to carry a little luggage for the weekend type trips. I might also take it out for an occasional trackday or two.

I still have the R1 so I'm not really looking for another sportbike. If I got another sportbike, I'd probably opt to sell the R1 and buy a new(er) one, or perhaps a CBR 600/1000...and just keep it on the pavement.

I'm thinking about the KTM 950 or 990 in supermoto trim, or maybe the KTM Super Duke. I might consider a KTM 690 if I came across a great deal, but otherwise, I'd prefer something else. I'm not into those adventure touring bikes like the BMW GS or KTM Adventure bikes.

Got any suggestions for me?
