Looking for an ADV bike that allows the handlebar to be lowered

I believe the Speed 400 might be my best bet, but I need to test ride it. Any other options?

I know you can use handlebar risers on pretty much all motorcycles to bring them closer to you, but can the opposite be done?

You might be thinking this makes no sense, but this is a very niche use case due to my injury. I have a tailbone injury and need to lean forward slightly while riding to take the pressure off my tailbone. For example, in my Duke 200, I did not face this particular issue.

However, any commuter bike or even the Xpulse that I tried out is a no-go because of this reason. I also briefly sat on someone else's Scrambler 400x. Even though the handlebar is closer to you on that bike, I thought it was better, probably because the seat is angled upwards in the back. If I scoot backward, my tailbone is likely raised. I need to test this out!

Now, this brings me into a troublesome, almost impossible situation. I need a motorcycle that has plush ride quality with comfortable seats and does not have a very upright stance.

I believe the Speed 400 might be my best bet, but I need to test-ride it. Any other options?
