Anyone got one?

Right before I got my Ducati Monster I actually went and looked at the Trident. Couple of things steered me away from it. First was availability, or lack there of. Wasn't available immediately. But more importantly it felt too small for my statue to me personally. The sales guy said it looked fine but he's got to right? lol. I am 6.1 and 220lbs on the muscular side and I thought I looked funny sitting on it.
It's a great bike and great price point for a brand new Triumph but just wasn't right for me. I would have felt self conscious whereas I don't on the Ducati. I would love to have a Scrambler or even more so a BMW R-Nine T and my first choice the new Harley Sportster and while I can go and get either of them whenever, I just can't justify it based on the lack of use the one I have gets to begin with.
