Default Duc vs.Triumph?

I’m seriously looking into getting another bike. I’ve gotten to the point where I want my daily rider to be a bit more “standard” than the classic sportbike (yet, I still will be hitting the curves), and want to have something a little different than the rest.

I was big into getting a Speed Triple (that the new Triple came out at the time I was trying to make this decision didn’t help at all), but have been looking at Monsters (and Buells, as well). I’m a little thrown. I’m not interested in a sport-tourer

My "have to haves" include:

· My wife being comfortable as a passenger
· Maintenance not having to tear the bike in half every month to keep it running well
· Parts availability (Bikes break, but how long does it take to wait for the part to arrive to fix it?)

I have no qualms about getting my hands dirty on a regular basis to keep it running well, but want to be able to ride out to the middle of nowhere without fear of spending two months in the Bates Motel waiting for a stator to arrive. Mods will be kept to a minimum.

Thanks.
