Its all about the compromises one is willing to make.

If only one bike, perhaps a street/retro scrambler type bike. Say a triumph scrambler 900, or a cheaper 700CLX.

Add a windshield, good for highway. Long flat seat means you can move about to whatever lean you want or just sit upright. With proper tyres, can do light to moderate offroading. Not too heavy about 200kg wet.

Right now, I'm pretty happy with my dominar despite its shortcomings, something I already known and willing to live with until a later time. I have it setup as a low cost mini touring/adv bike. Can handle light offroading, decent wind protection with my headlight riser and windshield. Just enough power for highway. Fun enough in the twisties. Most importantly, Cheap as fuck to not worry about trashing it and doing big miles. Mine seems to have avoided most of the lemon issues..now approaching 60k in 2.5years.

In any case, no point owning a garage queen.
