I like the lines of that Triumph... but the angle of the side cases messes with my head for some reason

And I believe there is another bike on my possible next list.
Triumph Sprint 1050 ST.
Guy here at school has one, looks sporty without the bags, but with the hard bags, it can actually carry a bit. He rode from Champagne IL.
I hope I get a chance to take it for a ride sometime before we leave...
