Promise that you at least ride the triple, indulge in the 1050 triple too, before pulling the trigger on another twin. I hate the stock cans on the new Triumphs but saw a sweet aftermarket setup with a bottom exit that sounded incredible. Next best sounding bike I heard was a RC51 with dual Sato exhaust. Incredible.
FYI - do not read what I just said as encouraging you back on the a bike.
I also like the dirt bike/son suggestion. I would be open to it myself but Zack is not quite mature enough. Maybe in '09...
