I have an ST. My BMW motorcycle experience started with an '03 1150R went to an '04 1150GS and was planning on waiting for an R1200R or pulling the string on an r1200gs when I spotted a demo silver/blue ST.

Just picked up my ST today. Gotta great deal on it b/c it was a demo. Very impressed so far. My last bike was an 1150GS, so this feels much lighter and quicker. There is more of a "hole" at lower rpm's than I am accustomed. Found myself in lower gears than with either of my 1150's. Frankly...

The RT, 1200ST, Futura, ST3/ST4, Sprint RS, K1200GT, K1200S, FJR1300 feel very claustrophobic when its 80-100 ...

How do the saddlebags for the K12R compare to the System Cases? They don't look like they're quite as robust as the system cases.
