W800 for sure. Probably on clearance from dealers and second hand there's always a few around. A great under-rated do-most-things roadster. In the long run likely to appreciate too.
I bought the W650 after bigger bikes (Falco 1000, Multistrada 1000 etc) and it has turned out to be a gem of a bike. Torquey, old school, reliable, fun. Economical to run too, cheap insurance, high 50's MPG.
I did UK to Finland late summer with soft panniers, tailpack, tankbag, rotopax. Looking at Finland - Morocco in May.
One warning about this bike. Every old fella will stop to talk about bikes. I've had dockers at Immingham & Gothenburg, old Swedes at gas stations, and bearded bears of Finns stop to chat awhile (about the 'Bonneville')
