I'm considering going to the dark side (no, not a Harley), just trading my America for either a Truxton, Speed Triple or Street Triple. The America has been great, but after looking at what kind of riding I usually do, I think a "standard" bike would suit me better.
Now, I'm not an idiot (my wife might disagree) - I know these are all different bikes, but they're all attractive to me. I saw a Thruxton recently with normal height handlebars installed, and it was really a nice riding position. The Speed 3 has always got great reviews, and the 675 Triple looks like it might qualify as the "new Bonneville" of the 21st century, and with its HP-weight ratio, it shouldn't be a slouch compared to the Speed 3. But... the Thruxton has some serious old-school appeal, and that amount of horsepower is plenty to get me into trouble.
Any thoughts?
