There is some good discourse herein.
If you want torque and old school technology then you need to look to the Suzuki DR750/800cc "BIG" single cylinder. Now, that's a single!!
Torque is far more to do with the stroke of the engine, a classic feature of 600+cc singles, than it is related to the overall engine capacity.
The point made earlier about FI is completely right: that discussion was made at length in here years ago - the argument is over.
That does not mean that one can't have a preference for carbs (two of my current 3 bikes are carb'ed) but it does mean that the FI technology is proven.
Finally, your pillion passenger needs priority consideration, as a minimum.
I have known bike passengers throw in the towel and walk away from a ride because of the self-centred person at the front of the bike.
