Try the R1200r.
A great all-rounder, which in terms of sportiness - could sit between the GS and the XR. Good panniers, and a great bike to tour on. Don’t get totally hooked up on ‘adventure’ or ‘trailie’ - the 1200r will also commute better than either, I’d suggest.
There’s a vid of some fella caning an R1200r in the alps - well worth looking for on YouTube.
