I was in a similar position. I have considered the Ninja, new Versys 1000 and the FJ09. I think Rider magazine had a shootout of the Versys, DL1000 and the FJ09 a couple months back and came to the conclusion that the Versys was the winner but everyone raved about the FJ's motor and fueling...

This was the most recent odometer shot taken when I finished a 21 day tour to Alaska and back on her... 13006 km in one trip... Began the year at 52048...
