Feeler: Trade Speed Triple for Tiger?

Not really sure I want to do this but I have always wanted an adventure touring type bike. Thought I would throw a feeler out there.

I currently have an 07 R1 and a custom T509 Speedy. The speedy is all fresh powder coat and paint. I just don't seem to ride it that much. Custom seat, powder coated frame, wheels, pegs, triples, etc etc etc. 2008 Porsche metallic racing green. Rizoma gauge cluster, blue flame exhaust, many new parts but a touch of details to finish.

Honestly not sure what it is worth.

Here are some pictures from the build to give an idea of the work that went into it. Just need to finish some little details.

Wait until you ride a Tiger, that will change.
