Anyone go from S3 to Thrux?

I'm thinking about getting rid of my Speed Triple and buying a Thruxton. The local dealer has a Blue '07 Thrux Special Edition (not sure why it's a special edition) that I have fallen in love with. I really like my Speedy but like everyone else on this board I love cafe racers. I don't care about going fast anymore I would rather just ride for fun.

I guess my main concern is the comfort factor. I rarely ride over 200 miles in a day but when I do, I don't want to be in pain all day. My last bike was an SV650S. The riding position didn't bother me that much except on extra long rides. I'm 36 and the sins of my youth are starting to catch up with me if you know what I mean.

My next question is the price. They have marked the Thrux down to $7999. They have ridden it to a couple of local shows and it has just over 100 miles on it. Their asking price seems a little high to me. Are they out of line with what everyone else is seeing?

Thanks in advance for you help.
