How much for saddle bags? Do I need to sell a child?

Mine came standard with the extras, it's a genuine 'T'. Some 'T's are advertised as 'T's but don't have the extras mine came with. I think there's a dealer who has imported a few from the States with all the extras, but not the same bags and backrest as teh NZ spec'd models had.
The last trip my wife and I did together was a five-day one with friends on a GSX1400 and the mentioned 1200S Bandit. We did the Coro, staying at Miranda and dining at Kaiaua. After the Coro loop, my mate on the GSX1400 asked if it was actually a thou, and when I assured him it was "only an 805" he asked if it was standard. We were all two-up with our gear and in real, on-road conditions, they had to be really trying if they wanted to get away from me. Needless to say, Jill was much more comfy, (and secure), on the back of the C50T than their wives were on the back of their bikes, although the GSX1400 is noted for its pillion comfort.
Top speed two up with a load of gear was just knocking on 170 indicated, (on quiet, clear and deserted flat, straight road that few know about), and we were perfectly relaxed and comfortable. Fuel economy is a normal 60mpg in the old money or about 260km per tank, (15lt), easy, with 280 possible in theory. I usually refill at about the 220km mark. 5lt left after the fuel warning light comes on.
I can hoon around on it if I want to and it really picks up its skirts when you get the revs up. 120km/h in fourth is about as far as I'm prepared to rev it, so if you want really quick overtaking from about 80km/h I change down but normally top gear is fine for everything over 60km/h.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
