| You'll find that even with the bags loaded, you'll be able to carve a pretty tight line through the corners. When you take the bags off, get ready to hang on. Think giant motard on steroids! Try an MR ... |

I've said this before on the board, but here it is again:

| Don't worry about the topcase interfering with the handling. I've got 12k miles on my 1200S Touring now, most of that with the topcase mounted. Unless you are carrying bricks in the topcase, you won't ... |

| If you're still looking for a taller windscreen, try the two-piece MRA windscreen. The adjustable upper spoiler really makes a difference in the airflow. |
