I loved the FZ except for long trips, a trip up to Indianapolis couple years ago was tiring at highway speeds and constant revs over 7k. I plan on doing more road trips so wanted bigger displacement and better wind protection. Local dealership had a new '11 GSX1250FA with hard bags and top case...
I have been using the Cortechs, either with or without the tail-bag, vice versa, and have found them to be very versatile. Total capacity is about 50 liters? I think. I did a week long trip from North Ga. to Mammoth Cave, Indianapolis, back down thru Cumberland and home with everything I needed...

I managed a four hour ride in local mountains both yesterday and today with a couple of riding buddies. Went up to Lookout Mtn. and watched hang gliders taking to the sky in what must have been thirty mph winds! Still a little sand and loose stuff in a lot of corners so it took total focus, but...
