Someone was going to do this to a 1098 sooner or later

Not a fan of the saddle bags on a sportbike.  It's just wrong...  Just like below.

OMG that's my buddies car back in NY.

You forget all about the hitch doin 120+ around Watkins Glen.

What a fun little car.

Who cares what she wears, as long as you get to ride her.

absolutely amazing. you're my hero now.

[MadDuck]

what's wrong with saddle bags on a sportbike?

I'd like to see pics with them off, but with a tall screen and a big efi tank it would be a great streetbike.

Why even ask such a question? Granted, anyone can do anything they darn well please to any bike but I truly believe if you are going to go that route then do it with an ST or a MTS. Of course YMMV.

i would love to have hard luggage for my 696.

Hey, if you don't like the hardbags on the 1098...here's a novel idea: DON'T BUY THEM.
Passing judgment on others is silly.

[redial]

i love it, but then im a little bit crazy.

definitely going to look into these bags before my journal to the coast with my riding friends late this summer 

[Spidey]

Passing judgment on others is silly. good sport.

fixed. 

[junior varsity]

Ha! I read that with british accent, old man. (like the bond villain in From Russia With Love)

[Triple J]

Wow...we have some close minded people around here. I love the bags. Not for everyday ofcourse but add those, the larger tank, and a set of heli bars (~3K total) and your impractical SBK just turned into a bad ass sport tourer. Hells yeah!!

One on each hip.

All I was saying was the bags aren't my cup of tea.  That doesn't make me close minded...  does it?  I don't really like the color pink, don't like the taste of eggplants, don't care for the Hummer and Toyota line of cars.  Am I close minded? 

Sorry, I don't love the 1098 with bags on them...  Just as I don't love sports cars with trailers...

Not to pick on you but.....do you have a better suggestion for a porsche to go to the track with track rubber?
