I know what I'd do.
I'd cherish that Triumph and ride it in honor of my dad every day and not let anything come between us. Any other motorcycle is just a conveyance by comparison, even a CB1100. Your dad's Triumph is timeless and something I hope you can allow yourself to enjoy fully, and then be fortunate enough to pass on to your kids when the time comes. It'll do anything a modern bike can do, and then some. It's just up to you.
When I was 13 my uncle bought me a brand new '73 CB350G, identical to the one in your photo, only it was purple, not orange. It's long gone, but I guess it'll always be "my Triumph."
