Nice lookong bags Louis. Fit the lines of the bike really nice. That's one thing I dislike about the Suzuki bags and the Givi's I have for the V-Strom. They just hang out there. Make the rearend a mile wide.

My wife basically told me that because of her bad back, she'll ride with me when the bike will have a backrest. Think I can get to buy myself a 'Busa such as this one?

I've got a bad back as well, and the reach and being stretched over the tank on my Gixxer actually helps. So get two Louis! His and her Busa's!

No way I'd get my wife a 'Busa, she could out run me way too fast
