2nd Bike To Leave In Spain

Ok guys not being familiar with Triumphs apart from the 2015 Street Triple R I ride at the moment.I am thinking of getting a second bike to leave in our house in Spain rather than drag mine backwards and forwards like a yo yo saving costs on ferry and journey times to and fro.My question is as the speed limit here is 56 mph on majority of roads some even only 50 mph so top speed not important, after over 45 years of high performance bikes of one shade or another would I miss the rush if I bought a Bonneville or similar?.At the moment I have found out here some 2014/15 T100's 865cc bikes at the top end of my budget.My only experience of a Bonneville was a 2015 America I road tested a few years ago was not impressed like riding a barge no offence intended but I have had a Goldwing so know what a barge feels like . Straight line speed not important but must able to corner well and be reasonable comfortable.Without having to spend a fortune upgrading suspension.Any comments welcome.

 

Will looking to buy one out here and then not have to bother about dragging bike to and fro like I do now.ITV equivalent for our mot is every 2 years and there is about 15 minutes away from our house.At the moment drawing up a short list of suitable bikes.

 

I have my street triple out here now and everything I want it to do is ok no pillion to worry about she no longer comes out on bike.Budget wise I can get another STR or something different. If I buy a UK bike then then the registration is about 300 euros plus cost of parts eg headlamp for rh dip and speedo if not in kmh and certificate of conformity which Triumph want £120.Most importantly it has to be standard spec as built to get ITV certificate for the swap over.

 

Ok thanks to Brexit even though its not happened yet has put a large obstacle in my way the Spanish government despite gov.uk saying different according to the local gestor( local tax adviser among other things).The law has been changed I cannot buy any Spanish vehicle until I now become fully resident and pay tax here and at home he says this has changed since the Brexit decision was postponed.So that idea will have to wait for the time being.I'll just lug the Street Triple back and forwards for a couple of years.Gives me plenty of time to make my mind up what bike to get.

 

Unfortunately her indoors doesn't drive anymore so not an option.We'll wait and see what happens when Brexit in whatever fprm has happened and see what the Spanish come up with.

 

Yes that's what I thought I have an NIE and an address here in Spain but he now says that was possible but now its not.I have used him for quite a few years and he doesn't normally steer me wrong. I have been to another gestor and she has said the same.It would appear from her comments that the Spanish government are now trying to make things in general difficult for UK citizens in which ever way they can.
