These bikes are known as UJMs or Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Also may called a "Standard". The street bike I learned to ride on was a Honda CX500 which is very similar to those CBs but with a V-twin. They were great bikes, but they are all getting rather dated for a reliable bike.

Suzuki had the GS which were also great bikes. Yamaha had the XS bikes.

Old Mech's TU250 is a modern version of one, and would likely be exactly what you want. Kawasaki W650 and Honda CB1100 are both modern UJMs too, but larger and more expensive.

A Royal Enfield may fit too. There aren't a lot out there, but they are still making them so you may find something that is fairly new that has the right look. Triumph Bonneville and Scrambler are also modern bikes with classic looks, but pricey.
