About to test ride a Street Triple!

Hi, first post here!

I traded in my CBR600F earlier this year for an 07 Blade, which to be honest is spectacular and vvvv fast. For day to day use however the 1000RR is just too much, every time you hit a pothole in town you run the risk of adding a lot of involuntary throttle inputs - i.e, 10mph extra if in first

So, I have been considering a Hornet or Street Triple for town use and the more twisty roads here in Scotland when I don't fancy taking the more powerful Blade out.

Going for a test ride tomorrow on the Street Triple. Love the white one (would match my HRC coloured blade well) and wondered if anyone knows availability here in the UK?

Also anyone ridden the Honda back to back? Styling wise I prefer the Street but the test ride I had a while back on the 600RR was excellent, bar a very uncomfortable seat (for me)....
