Just to throw in my opinion on cruise control, it's one of those things that if you've never had it, you'll never miss it. My last three bikes have had cruise control and it's now on the 'must have' list for any replacement bike. Previously, I have scorned cruise control as an unnecessary complication & cost, only suitable for autobahns and pointless in the UK. However, I find I use it all the time on the Tiger as it is soooo easy to use, just tap a button and it's set, roll off the throttle or touch the brakes or tap that button again and it's off. Simples. Use it around town to slip past speed cameras, in 40/50mph speed limits and even in flowing countryside, it is just so much more relaxing. Never mind when you are batting through Europe with 100's of kM to go before a hot shower & a cold beer beckon. If you ride with fiends they will also love sitting at a rock steady & predictable speed too.
If you're sure your bike is a 'keeper' I would seriously consider fitting an aftermarket cruise control kit. It is expensive, but only you can decide if it's worth that investment ? However, it will transform the dynamic of your bike and I'm fairly certain enhance your enjoyment of it too. I only know of one person who has fitted the MC Cruise electronic cruise control and that was to a Honda Pan European 1300. It was quite easy to fit but took a little bit of setting up. Once set up it was trouble free and my mate must have had it for years before chopping it in for a Goldwing a couple of years ago. Now it's DCT automatic AND cruise control, sounds relaxing.
