So, I'm keeping the Buell for the time being, and I'll probably go ride a Speed Triple, but I just traded my Mustang for this:

DRZ400

If the DRZ has good maintenance and is in good shape overall, I think you can't go wrong. I really want your mustang but it is nice and far away, luckily.

Grab some supermoto wheels for that thing and run the hell out of it, great bike!

I really want a ktm 690 duke for a hooligan bike one day.

When you get bored with dual sporting, check one of these monsters out....

I do too, the 690 is just interesting to me.

I thought I'd update this- I rode a 2010 Speed Triple today. It's a little short on power compared to my 1125, but it sounds like an angry saxophone and the seat feels like the hand of god cupping my buttocks.

Overall, I liked it a lot, definitely goes on the "must have some day" list, although I'm not scrambling to get rid of the Buell for one.

Try out the 1290 Super Duke(although its new)......evidently its kinda crazy if you're one to believe the motorcycle reviews.

If you want to go with something more unique a naked RZ500 would be an option:

Older tech, but 4 separate expansion chambers and 2 stroke power.

On edit: never mind, I should have looked to see if it was in the target price range before posting.
