250cc
Get a 250cc bike or scooter, not too high a seat so you can flat foot it at stop lights.

Possible bikes
OK, I will be the first and mention a scooter, like a Burgman 650.
As alternatives, how about a Honda Shadow Aero 750 or a Sportster 1200C?

They lost the Triumph line
Just got a letter from Triumph USA today stating that Sharer's is no longer a Triumph dealer. Sad. They are great guys and have a great repair service, which, I hope remains open.
