I feel for you as I went down the cancer road in 2009. Had to park my lovely Tiger 1050 for about two years while my body healed. As it was I just never got to use that bike as much as I would have liked but life went on. I did heal up over time and now, many years later, am still riding. While not as much as in the past I do still love my time on my new 900 Tiger.
So, I hope you find it possible to continue to overcome and move on. The "little" Kaw is a good machine and as they say, "The best motorcycle is the one you are riding at the moment".
