[Water Warrior 2]

All nice looking bikes you found. Just a personal opinion here and one I stand by with everything on wheels. Don't get a modified bike. Find a nice clean stock bike and change it to fit you and only you. Make it yours. Buying a modded bike is some one else's idea of the ideal bike. My Vstrom is changed for comfort and convenience but no engine changes or appearance changes just for show.
Lynda's bike has been changed for her personal comfort with different bars, drivers backrest, highway pegs, windshield, heated grips and a sheep skin seat cover. Her bike is an M-50 and I do like the way it rides. Suzuki has discontinued the C-90 but some used ones might be available to check out. Bigger and heavier with lots of go power. They are relatively trouble free with low maintenance too. If I could find a new one in a crate I would be hard pressed to keep the Vstrom as it is one very reliable and satisfying bike.
