RE: [ST] ST new bags



UGH!!  I know they are useful, but the top boxes are UGLY!!  Sorry - just my
opinion.  I never really liked the bike with the hard luggage, looks wise.
The soft luggage appears more sporty and fitting of the bike.

And yes, the new luggage is ugly and resemble some sort of pontoons...

I have always thought that a top case was the way to go for commuting and
side bags for touring.
