A lot of the suggestions are good, but they seem to think you said this would be your only bike and not your only form of transport for work and fun, and for that reason I'd want something new'ish, nothing maintenance intesive, and something as reliable as possible. The older bikes are great as a toy or a 2nd form of transport, but you don't want 'age related problems' when you're trying to get to work to earn money to keep your head above water.

I'd look at the F800GS, XT660Z, CB500X or the CRF250.

You could also get a nice Tiger 800 or a Versys for the money you have.
Current bike is a Yamaha T7
