If you like older bikes, the Suzuki GS series are rocksteady, there's a great forum community for them and you can usually get them for a few grand.
They make really nice Cafe racers with a little work, being UJMs (universal Japanese motorcycles) they are quite adaptable in terms of fit. My 425cc takes on 1800cc Harley dynas just fine, and I've ridden it up to San Francisco and back to LA a couple of times now.
But: they're carbureted, and don't offer more than lights, brakes, good steering and power.
