The styling of the Street Triple is too funky for me. Also, there isn't a Triumph dealer here. (We are fairly limited in our local selection of bike dealers with only Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. Our Kawasaki deal is sketchy.)If I liked the totally naked bikes I would have bought an SV650. I have thought about a dual sport, particularly the DR650, but the thing is too tall, and I don't want to sacrifice the highway capability I currenty have in the Bandit.

You are right that the stying is important to me, but not to others. In other words, I don't want an attention-seeking bike.
