An ST13 with BAGS off is a pitiful looking creature.

Yea, but it would be a new design I'm sure, so maybe it'll be better. I'm also not a fan of the FJR without bags. It looks very odd to me.

My FJR, on which I hardly ever carry the bags, heard you. She's very sensitive about her weight. She once asked, "Do these bags make me look fat?" I said, "No, of course not. But let's take them off anyway. Why carry extra weight unnecessarily?" She was happy with that for a long time. Until now.

My FJR is comfortable with her weight. She didn't even bat an eye when I brought the bikini clad younger and much thinner Suzuki hussy into the garage. She knows she's still my main squeeze and doesn't mind sharing.

It's not a hijack. It's a re-purposing.
