We're taking it up to the Peak District for the bank holiday weekend - the right weather and it could be amazing. Shit weather and we'll probably split up

Rode the S1000RR for longer than I had before and frankly it wasn't comfy enough for it to be my primary bike and I think the thick end of £16k is too much for a Sunday toy.After 2 hours I had a very sore back and every gear shift made my knee ache.Getting old sucks.
I did ride the GS again.It was wonderful, comfy, roomy, handles well for its size and everything.It would be a really fantastic addition to the garage, I could keep the Street Triple for B roading and use the GS for long trips and crossing continents.
Still not sure about it though.I could go for a Triumph Tiger XRX new and get a used GSXR for the price of a GS.First world problem, I know- but it is a big decision and I want to make the right one.
I have a Kawasaki Z1000SX as a compromise between speed, power and practicality. The engine is very torque-y down low, front end will happily come up in 1,2 and 3. Never seems to run out of power higher up though. It doesn't have the high end insanity of a pure screaming super sports, but it's very fast still. Having the lower down engine sound makes you underestimate your speed! I bought one second hand in which the previous owner lavished every extra you could want on it, including the Givi quick release luggage racks. So I can remove the luggage+racks in a matter of minutes when not using them for touring. Gel seat and heated handlebars, adjustable screen angle etc. etc. I did 3000 miles over 6 countries on it, with 2 side cases, 1 top box and the girlfriend on back. It did not sweat it one bit. Cruise all day at near triple digit speeds comfortably on endless highways or get your knee down around stelvio pass. Such a lovely bike. Daily commute to work is a breeze. Has ABS, traction control but no cruise control unfortunately, still a huge spec bike for the prices they are.

I have always wanted a Ducati, I wanted one in my 20's (apart from the times when I wanted a Laverda!) desperately wanted one when I really couldn't afford one in my 40's, and now I can I'm too old and stiff to assume that riding position, its a complete non-starter. So I'm thinking of a Rocket 111 or Thunderbird 1700.
Someone talk me out of it.........!!
