Yeah thats mostly my thoughts on the issue. BMW makes crotch rockets too ;).
I'd thought about getting a more upright pair of handlebars for mine but it'd
ruin the look and originality of what I've got.
I'm also not a fan of cruisers. I've ridden a couple and just don't like that
leaning back thing. I want more of a standard, sit up kind of position.
I did see a CB400 on Craigslist for very small money. They're considered very
girly which keeps the price down. Might be a fun toy for a summer.

My 0.02 cents worth.
If you are looking for a painful to ride, crotch rocket that makes noise
like a Formula 1 car, keep what you have.
If you want a civilized touring bike that can carry two, makes good power,
operates smoothly, buy the BMW.
The BMW rides differently than what you are now using, but it's a quick
adjustment and I believe it might fit what you want for use.
I've been coast to coast a couple of times on BMW bikes and at the end of
each day they hadn't beat me up nearly as bad as other bikes I've ridden
distance.
