Mine is the 650, and I feel like it's good. My cruiser was an 800 and I was a little leery of dropping down, but this bike is also a lot lighter than that cruiser! So, for me, I feel like the 650 is fine. I have Givi saddlebags and a top case on mine also, and while I can't say I've packed them to the gills, I've used those and also had a passenger on the bike and had no issues at all.
