ST1100 Pan or Deauville 700 for my 41+m round trip commute?

As above, the Burgman is going to cost too much to bother fixing so I need a winter commuter. These Hondas seem to be good value and will likely be tediously reliable, so which is best?

My commute is 2.5 miles of 30 mph village and 60 mph B road to the M6, then 15 miles to an urban expressway for a mile then more 30mph city roads for a couple of miles and back.

Are Dullvilles really boring? Is the Pan stupidly top heavy? I'm used to filtering with luggage so that's not much of an issue.

Can you not stretch to a R1200RT or ST1300? the ST1100 PE's are very very old now and will be probably knackered.

You can pick up a NC700/750 for a couple of grand, they are a ready made commuter.

Pan, atleast it’s remotely interesting.
