Everyone I know with a BMW 1200GS has had final drive issues. Mixed bag of electrical issues for people I know with BMWs, plus the services are expensive.
My short list would be in no particular order.
vstrom 1000 (2nd gen)
vstrom 650 (2nd gen)
super tenere
honda african twin
honda vfr1200x
triumph tiger 1200
triumph tiger 800
Of course like your typical urban SUV my bike would not see any dirt and occasional gravel roads (I live in a rural area, occasionally they happen). I'd be buying it to ride as a sport touring.
If I were buying a bike for off and on roading it would be a DZ400 or 650.
