If it's going to be a used bike with no warranty as such, you'll be better off buying something privately that's obviously been looked after as you'll get a lot more for your money.
Pick a bike you like and hit the owner's forums, you rarely get a nail on them as sales are open to other forum members, so it would be stupid to try and palm off some crappy old bus there.
The Missus has just picked up a 2001 Aprilia Falco with an ohlins rear shock, 25,000 miles on the clock (nothing for the Rotax motors), standard and aftermarket cans, a satnav, a Givi topbox with rails attached, an assortment of mods that owners 'in the know' do, already done, all for about a grand and a half. There's a few scuffs on one side of the fairing, but other than that it's immaculate. Performance, practicality and reliability wise it'll piss all over a used Hyosung 650, there's much much better stuff out there for the money you talking about spending.
