I dont think it was a mistake selling it at the time, I had health issues come up, and it was either get something more comfortable, or stop riding for good.
As it later turned out, the health issues and bikes had no correlation, so eventually I got healthy and am now in the market for a fun naked again.
But you cant ride a bike for 3 years and not notice its flaws, which is why the 1290 hasnt been on my radar this time around.
I almost bought the new street triple RS, but getting the feeling triumph is either too popular or too slow logistically. None of the dealers in the province had the model/color combo I wanted, finally found one that did, but apparently when a bike comes with cruise control stock, it doesnt actually come with cruise control, and they have to order the switchgear, that may or may not take 2 months to arrive and then have to be installed, so thats out.
Also almost bought a pikes peak ducati but that v4 doesnt sound like the one from noale, I also dont like the goofy beak or the cheesy #1 painted on the sides.
In the real world, my AT does 90% of what that ducati does, but looks stylish while doing it and doesnt cost 40k out the door.
