I can't ride a Street Triple or Speed Triple; as well as being naked the riding position is all canted forward - I feel too near the ensuing accident 
.
I agree the Tiger 1050 R (or Sport) was a brilliant ride and has a 'Fazer' look about it, but you are looking at a 5 figure price which put me off, along with pricey servicing. Second hand ones that have done a Winter still rust and corrode.
Just a thought, I took out a Fazer 8. They didn't get the best press, but I thought it looked good and the engine is an absolute peach. Suspension was under-damped was my only complaint but perhaps it wasn't set up properly. Best of all they come at the right money - more like £5K for a mint low miler?
