Have you considered something smaller? A 7/8/900 adventure bike will still pull your balls off if you twist it and they can still have all the mod cons like heated seats, riding modes and cruise control.
My dad got a Tiger 900 after not wanting to wait for the 1200 and he loves it
Granted they're only slightly smaller in size and weight but it might make the difference

true point ^^ it's just getting over the difference between a 10kg bike and a 200kg motorbike, felt quite intimidating just trying to stop them falling over. especially with a row of 30 other bikes trying not to turn them into a row of dominos ! once they get moving i'm sure it'll feel a bit better
the multistrada felt the most top heavy and unwieldy. seat the least comfy, you felt like you were sitting on top of it compared to sitting in the others on a comfy sofa ! plus reaching the ground was trickier with the duke with the others my legs were nicely bent and feet felt well planted on the ground
