I'm running the 06 K1200GT, and lov'in it. Starting to plan this summers trip. My wife rides her own 07 HD Road King w/ soft luggage bag, so she has plenty of storage. Since I ride solo; I dont think i'de need quite that much storage, after looking at the size of that top box and tank bag. I see there's two top boxes, and one tank bag size BMW makes available. I hav'nt seen anyone using the smaller top box on the new GT. Also, I was thinking about The Chicane Canyon or the Canyon EX(which is smaller). Dont want to be hitting horn or starter buttons! Is a smaller tank bag and smaller BMW top box practical to use for touring solo?
Any oppinions?
HOWIE...

Just depends on what you need, versus what you want to take. I used a small top case and a small tank bag. If you just MUST take more, just buy a sport bag and tie it to the passenger seat. I did this on my last trip to CA so I could bring back a load of bourbon at half the price of what the gov't steals from ya here in WA.
