So I did a bad thing, riding around arvada, went to the bmw dealer.
walked out with an '05 blue/white K1200s with 1700 on the clock, bags and a pipe included.
Triumph was fun but this is the best compromise of sport/comfort I have experienced yet. With over a 60 inch wheelbase, it is actually much better for my big goofy frame.
Best part is I got the Triumph for a really good deal so I ended up loosing $500 on the trade from what I paid for it 3 months ago - lesson well learned and I lucked out - they just put this bike out before I walked in. Pics when it is sunny out.

Clifton, block away from Montclair State Univ.
All the people I used to ride with moved away so I'm always on the look out for people to go for the occasional ride up to Bear Mt etc

Which Triumph? I'm trying to decide b/t Sprint ST and a k1200r
I know they are totally different bikes, but I like my nekkid, so I think I'd like the BMW better. The BMWs just appeal to me more also - but then there is that sweet 1050 engine of the Triumph triple...
Hard to decide.
