The tour packs just never look as nice on as the 6 looks without it. Less than $100 invested in bags
It's a matter of opinion. There are plenty of times I would really appreciate the convenience of a trunk or tour pack. I have looked into it myself, but I will continue to use my luggage. I have a Kuryakyn Grand Traveler bag that works pretty well. I am thinking of getting a trailer to pull for taking longer trips 2 up.

When the time comes and I decide to upgrade to possibly the new Gold Wing, it will probably be the Tour version with the trunk. Of course , now the trunk can be removed on the new Wings.
