I'm Screwed

...and for all the usual reasons.
Not 2 months ago, I bought a new to me 2007 Speed Triple to sit beside the mighty Tiger. Now, this comes up on my local CL, not 20 minutes from me (there aren't many of these here, from what I can tell, but I love them and have wanted one since I laid eyes on it. Much like the S3 and the Tiger). My wife is going to leave me. I think I'll have a beer and contemplate single life.

Buy the 'bird, get some luggage, sell the Tiger. Long distance comfort missile, shorter-hop high-bar hooligan. The Tiger would be redundant in that lineup, and probably the least used once you had all three.

AND it's in the fastest color.
As a bonus, you can laugh at all the US. Blackbird owners who lust after the mighty Blue Bird, 'cause they couldn't get one, it was too much for them.

I think you need to talk to Atadaskew...the more scooters he buys, the happier (and hotter) his gf gets.

Maybe I should see a psychiatrist so he/she can help me identify what it is I'm running from. That way I'll know exactly how far I need to ride and be done with it!

Sure you can. It's too heavy to be a sportbike, and not comfortable enough to be a sport-touring bike.
PLUS, the windscreen is not electrically adjustable on-the-fly.

You are just jealous because the FJR is a better ST than your XX/Sprint/VFR.

Dude what if wife leaving is not positive?
I mean some of our wives, fuck like crazy, buy us motorcycles, atvs, guns, make great money, keep the house clean, and is cool with us taking long bike trips, and have a great pension.
It could be fucked up.
