I don't know whether it helps but: https://geoffjames.blogspot.com/2020...ss-report.html and https://geoffjames.blogspot.com/2010...revisited.html . The Street Triple was a 675 but the sentiments would also apply to the 765, even more so. Leg room is a bit more generous on the Duke than the Triumph, Important for me with damaged knees, but might not be relevant to you. Good luck searching!
With your height and your budget there are lots of opportunities. There should be test rides should be available, have fun.

Well you probably are a bit out of budget range for the RZ500 you just know you need. But if needs must I'd recommend you don't go too big. Not required these days and you will be blown away by what they call midrange bikes these days that make the old 1000cc chuffers we used to aspire to a bit wet.
And heavy.
I too have a 675 street triple. I've spent time to lower bars etc as it is a bit upright at my young age (53). Go ride the 765 or at least sit on one.
I tour, tootle, and sport ride mine. I don't need any more go on the road these days.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Cool - In that case I'd highly recommend the Moto Guzzi V85TT. They are slightly over your price range brand new but a lightly used one will fall under $20k.
It fits all the criteria you've mentioned, is manageable, distinctive, has enough grunt for spirited road riding and they have a real sense of individuality about them.
I love mine and its even good for the odd pillion ride too should the need arise. What's not to like?
...a Japanese one...a Honda to be more specific...
I'm with this guy. No point buying something weird. Get an Asian bike. Like a Triumph.

Or a Harley. Or a Benelli.

The small KTooms are already made in India, so that will feel like home.
