The upright riding style is great, when you can get your heels underneath you (in-line with your spine)...the best bike I have found for this is the BMW R1150 GS. It is the all-around perfect machine, with cantilever brakes in the front end; the bike squats downward, rather than forward and down, when you mash the front brake. It has 7" of clearance and is multi-purpose. Would make a great companion to a trip across Scotland...in fact, I may do just that.
