BMW F800GS, something like that would fit the description. Honda Transalp maybe. If you're using it in London you'll need to think ULEZ which I think means post '08 for most bikes, so a lot of the good cheap options get ruled out.

Definitely an adventure bike of some description.
BMW GS
Triumph Tiger
Ducati Multistrada
Moto Guzzi Stelvio
Honda Africa Twin
Yamaha Super TénéréThere's loads more too to choose from but maybe have a look at those options as a start point?

+1 on the F800GS, mate of mine does Brum and back several times a week on one. I wouldn't say happily, but he doesn't hate doing it.

Kind of thinking of getting rid of the car as I don't use it enough. Would be looking at a motorbike instead.
I'd need it to do motorway travel, nipping around the city and having enough storage options to going camping with.
Unfortunately I don't have a garage or driveway to keep it in/on but should be able to sort something secure in the front garden to attach a chain to.
I'd need to hire a bike and pass a full test beforehand but that's not a problem.
Any suggestions? Not bothered about a plastic bullet and a full on tourer would be too much. I'd be buying a used bike.
