The only tourers that come to mind that have stock bar end shifters are the Long Haul Trucker and 520. The LHT is slightly cheaper, but you have to order it, and I believe the wait is something like 5 months now. And you won't be able to ride it beforehand, probably.

It's a shame that most tourers come with STIs now. I guess it's because manufacturers think racy looking bikes will sell better, even if they aren't designed for racing. The first upgrade to my Aurora were bar end shifters (actually the shop did it for me, I had a choice between the stock STIs and the bar ends).
