I have never liked saddlebags on any bike I've owned over the past 30 years. Top luggage only - seat packs, top cases, tank bags.

Everyday riding, 33 liter Trekker and maybe one of my small...

Suzuki GS-E models in the early 80's were the best. GS850E's, 1000E's and 1100E's. You could be on those bikes for tank after tank of fuel and just not need to get up to stretch.

Go straight to the 1000 and don't look back, especially if you're a bigger guy. The 650 is going to put you to sleep if you feel the 800gs doesn't have get up and go.

I'm a hair taller and heavier than you and I was very comfortable on my CB1000, a good standard bike open riding position. How were the ergonomics wrong for you?

I had an XL500 with the 23" front wheel, what sucked was not having any choice for good tires. There was the stock Bridgestone and I think there was an IRC. We had to choose the best of the worst.
