Hi Aggie...

I have an '01 RS... w/ 35K on it... that's how nice it is to ride...

I'm 6' 0" - 220lbs, and am very comfortable on this bike... I use it for commuteing and weekend fun time (when the wife and kids schedules allow)...

I wish I had the SSSA, because I have mounted the ST hard cases, which forced me to lower the exhaust... I am looking to convert to a SSSA so I can mount the exhaust under the seat... hell, all it takes is cash, right?

I also have the top box, which you can put a nice little back rest on for the comfort of a passenger, then take the box off and you will only have the small luggage rack on... I used a dremel to notch the cowel (sp?) so I can have it on even with the luggage rack or a grab rail...

As a side note... the top box has not effected the stability of the bike at high speeds... I only have the top box on when commuteing, so I'm not flying... I generally can cruise about 75 - 80 for a good chunk of my commute... but have ridden at 90 - 94 without any ill effects...

I would recommend the RS to anyone without hesitation...

good luck on whatever you decide...
