Pocketbook is optional, soft sided luggage is cheap, Givi's a bit more. We just came back from a mini vacation in the mountains. The twisty roads favor a smaller lighter machine, but long stretches of straight / sweepers cry for more cc's. I can see the appeal for a liter+ sports tourer when passing at altitude. However, the VFR performed admirably loaded down. My sweetie just throws a few days worth of stuff onto her FZ6R and it's good to go.
Having used the Givis, I'll never go back to soft luggage again. (yeah it's not a matching color, it's off our other bike)
