Maybe its time for a change - but to what??

Everything I've read about the Street Triple has been full of praise for it, major grin factor - I'd love to try one, but I'd be worried that at 6' 2'' I'd just be too cramped on one. But, see, that's where if you could have it as a 2nd bike it wouldn't matter so much if you didn't get on with it. Just trade it for something else.

I'm 6'4". Test rode one recently and tried really hard to convince myself it was possible. It really is fun but no way I could ride this bike on a regular basis. Actually took it back half way through the hour I was allowed because bits of my anatomy were starting to hurt  :\

So it's as I suspected then. I wonder if the Speed Triple 1050 is significantly bigger? I've sat on one in a showroom and like the position generally but haven't ridden one. Didn't even bother sitting on the Street Triple, but have been offered a test ride of both, and a Tiger Sport, even tho I told the sales guy I wasn't in a position to buy anything. He said, that's ok, at least you're honest about it! D'you think he thinks he can ensnare me anyway?!
