Above your price point but falling regularly perhaps because Indian just killed it is the FTR1200.  Not light but plenty of character and available in the S variant with all the nannies.  I think they look cool.  Also, the high mounted S&S exhaust completes this bike's look!

Also, the Kawasaki W series parallel twins.  These started with a 650 and then morphed into an 800.  Not a lot of HP but the bevel drive for the cam is cool and the vintage vibe is on point if that's your thing.

I had a W650.  It was a great bike except the carburetors were very touchy about gumming up from gas containing ethanol.  I'd go for a W800, they're fuel injected.

Hyabusa. ABS added around 2013 or 2014 I think. Leave lots of things behind in a hurry, maybe even your license if you let in enough stupid.
