After riding one of these to Munich last year (http://www.nirvana-motorcycles.com/wordpress/?p=1214) I started saving my pennies and am now the proud owner of this 56-plate 1050.

List of goodies:
14k miles
Full luggage
Zard can
Oxford Hot Grips (boy are they hot!)
Radiator/Cooler covers
Michelin PR3s
New chain & sprockets
Hugger
MRA Vario screen
Hand guards
Centre stand
Speed Triple Mirror Extenders (100mm)

Looks good Steve, I've heard they are really "grunty" and good fun.

I've got an early Speed Triple and even that is like a diesel for torque.

Not as grunty as the 900s funnily. (I have a Daytona 900 so feel equipped to make such a comment).

It is extremely comfy though - all those years on VFR/Sprints when these are the real tourers!

Nice, very nice. Probably enough value in goodies to equate to several of my old bikes.
