Can anyone name a decent four stroke middleweight twin?

That's a V twin so doesn't count.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

The old Honda CB400N Super Dream was actually a very good machine, a whole lot better than its CB250N sibling.
Unfortunately, tarred with the same brush.

As if a Zzr1100 isn’t enough? So, that’ll not see daylight till next August when I’ll wobble up BoxHill, or some such marathon 30 Mile trip, complaining of aching wrists, cramped guts on the lunatic tank, whilst riding like a total learner.

When must I learn that grey motability is the way forward, now!

Actually, it’s lovely. Virtually unmarked, low mileage, much loved & owned by a total nerd ( mot tester that knows it inside out-& is happy to keep it ‘ right’.

Even the plate fits.
