I'd definitely consider the idea of two bikes. It's by no means a daily. It's really narrow, and at first unrealistically low. It's a harsh ride for sure, but once going, it was a marvel.
I spent time on it here and once out in Spain. It wasn't as fun in SE UK for obvious reasons, mainly road conditions.
Not sure I'll ever forgive myself if I don't own one at some point. They do have annoying quirks though.

I'm after a weekend toy only. Although current bike does the odd trip to the shops or a sunny weather commute.
Dreams of long trips around the country make me want something upright with a touring screen and the luggage options though.
Torn between fun and practical and don't have the budget for both.

Then we're in the same boat. Pretty much nothing else has gotten me excited in the same price range though my girlfriend would be disappointed. She wants a comfy pillion seat and a top box/pannier boxes.
