My first motorcycle was an EX500.  I turned it into what I called
a baby sport-tourer with a tall windscreen, a Corbin seat, and Givi 
luggage.  With just the top case it was awesome as a commuter, and
I had side cases for touring.

I loved that bike, but it was stolen a few months after I bought
my Sprint.

I too would love to have a smaller bike with hard luggage as a
commuter.  The Sprint is awesome, but it's too much bike for
kicking around the city.
