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  :\

I had one of those before the Fazer8. Great fun to ride but the seat/tank combo was a ball crusher. The latest ones with the low pipe are supposed to be better and they actually feel bigger than the older ones as the seat is a different shape and angle. They still have expensive servicing with valve checks every 12,000 miles.
