Sorry, let me be clear, to me toys=bikes and bikes=toys

Yeah, that's what I mean too. My bikes are going in a basement shop.

I just got off the phone with the local dealer about a CB1000R (I sent them an email before I decided not to buy this year).

They don't have one and say that if they get one, it probably won't be until next year. Then he went on to suggest bikes that I'm not even remotely interested in.

Why is it so hard to get a bike?

Yeah, I will look more aggressively when it's time to buy.

School me on the Triumph Speed Triple.

Reliability? Parts availability?

Just wondering if they're relatively worry-free, for the reasons I have somewhat steered away from Ducati.

I don't know if you guys have figured it out just yet, but I tend to steer toward uncommon things. Ducati, Triumph, Husqvarna, etc. Rather than stuff you see all over the place.

But, in this case, I'm also not trying to create a bunch of work for myself by buying something that's going to be a headache.

My hypermotard hasn't had any issues. I'm with you though, I like riding more unique bikes. I would definitely buy a speed triple, badass bike.

I want the new Diesel designed Ducati Monster

That is definitely a cool bike. How many miles are on your Hyper?
