Should you get one? I think it depends what you're going to use it for. All the above posters have good reasons why or why not for having one or not. I just did a 4,000 mile trip with good results with a tail bag that cost $55 and is probably just as spacious as a top box. If you're only going to tour once in a great while, there is plenty of soft luggage available that works. It will do for commuting also but it probably won't lock. If you plan on touring a lot or two-up, then you'd need it. However, if I needed a top box only for commuting, I'd probably own a different bike.
