How about a Mulitstrada? Lighter, MUCH more power, better looking(subjective) and sounds like a boss with the right pipe. I compared the Tiger 1050 vs. a KTM 950 vs. the Duc and ended up with a Mulitstrada S Sport. Rode them all but the Duc took the cake.

Perfect bike for your midlife crisis! Make sure you get all the engine bars and luggage and then only use it to commute 10 miles when the weathers fine!
