I'm happy with my 1965 Ducati 250cc (except for when I seized the engine). If you get a 4 cylinder bike, you get extra carbs to worry about. A single is great. Less things to go wrong -- although if something does break, you can't limp it somewhere.
Small bikes are underrated I think. You're in a foreign country, so you don't go that fast. Any small Japanese bike would be great. They're pretty indestructible and you can find parts anywhere.
