Local Shop sells 2 - Which One to Get?

I think if you did a survey / poll and asked people if when they purchased their first motorcycle, was it the right / “perfect” choice and it’s the bike they still ride today and only bike they have owned, the percentage results would be very low.
I rode some when I was a teen - anything I could beg, borrow, steal - wide open throttle on fire trails, single track, up in the hills, etc. Those were little Hondas and stuff - 80cc, 125’s…
But as an old-timer, after 600 years in the service, I did some motorcycle safety training, got my endorsement and purchased… an 863cc Triumph. No idea what I was thinking other than I literally took one look at that bike and didn’t even need to sit on it before I knew it was the one. But it doesn’t scratch every it. I need a damn barn to make up for several decades of missed riding and adventures.
(But I try to ride that Triumph every day…)
