There's something about a single. I've had too many, mostly supermotos - light, quick, great handling, fling 'em around, stop quick-as-you-can-think, uncomfortable, impractical, hooligan.
There's the XT500 or SR500 Yamahas? They still make an SR400 version - I have been tempted but can't help thinking it's got 100cc missing?
The Savage is kinda similar to the Shadow. Not a bike I knows as there ain't many around in the UK.
If you fancy the idea of a genuine 1940s motorcycle, buy any Bullet up to 2008. Will probably mean a resto project and there's precious little support available in N America. BUT easy to work on, parts are cheap and Hitchcocks send stuff anywhere in the World.
Or there's the UCE version post 2009, which comes in classic stylee similar to the older ones to look at?
OR the pretty-as-pie café racer Continental 535, made 2014-2019?
