I have a bit of a bike dilemna

[speed8]

I got my Sprint ST1050 when it was one of the first ones to come out the factory and it's a truly great bike. I've had it two years, done 9000 miles, two trips to the Europe and some runs in Scotland and the Dales.

However, when I got it my heart was saying Speed Triple but my head said Sprint and my head was the right choice at the time. Now I'm thinking I want to go after the Triple (especially the white one I saw at a local dealers). I'm not out on the bike too much at the moment except for around town and a bit of fun in the Dales and I don't think I need the extra carrying capacity of the Sprint...

Question is, should I do it??? I'm dithering at the moment and not sure..

Do you do much two up riding & how much luggage do you carry when you go away? I've had a speed triple, it was also white but not very standard (see list in my profile) - I went to Europe on mine & plenty of UK weekend trips, they are great fun & much improved since I owned one last, can you possibly get one on demo for a weekend or something, perhaps from the dealer you purchased your sprint from, even a secondhand one, I'm sure if they knew your dilema & thought they were going to get a new bike sale from it that they'd accomodate you.
