A pretty open question... How far and how fast? Do you want to do Autoroutes (to get through the boring bits of northern France), or just stick to the twisties. Whatever you get you'll need luggage and an iron-butt (or a comfort seat) to do any serious distance. For touring I'd recommend a bigger engine... I've done 300 miles in a day on my 900 (with comfort seat) avoiding motorways where possible... the first 200 miles is fun, 250 is OK, but after that it becomes pretty wearing. Headlight cowl or not, this is a naked bike and it will be a physical strain to travel long distances.
