This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For sure, the looks are #1 for me too. The thing I run into is needing space to carry things, primarily my workout gear and duffle bag, and sports bikes suck for cargo.
My Harley has two large saddle bags and even those aren't really enough space.
On the xsr900 sub reddit I once saw someone with a good setup for soft luggage. Personally I have some bungie cords that i use to strap my backpack onto the back seat. MCs as a whole just aren't as practical that way. Ironically/underrated mopeds have build in storage and sacrificed all the cool points to just being pure practicality for urban mobility lol
True!
I'll figure something out. I just love riding without a backpack, but that'll be difficult for a daily commuter retro sport bike.
An NC700/750 has about as much storage as a moped. But the real storage capacity comes when you start stacking stuff on the back, with the right bags/frame, you can transport basically anything you'd fit in the back of a minivan without lowering seats or shorted pickup without leaving the gate down.
