A little big but take a look at a Yamaha Star 650. Air cooled V-twin. I personally can't warm up to one but that's just me.
Liquid cooled is superior in most cases because there is a more constant operating temp and that in itself will lead to less issues down the line. Oil temps will be more uniform and there is less expansion and contraction of engine parts. Engines can be made to more close tolerances too.
Would I buy an air cooled bike............sure, why not if I wanted one. Most of my past bikes were air cooled. My 1st water cooled was a Suzuki GT 750 triple 2 stroke. Didn't even have a fan on it and always ran right on the designated dot on the temp guage. Sold it after having it a year. Really wish I had been smart enough to keep it more than a year. Awesome sound when the throttle was twisted a whole bunch.
