Actually being lower to the ground it doesn't feel that much heavier (if at all) and it glides through the curves. Might be a different story if I have to pick it up off the ground. Hopefully I never have to.
Yep, all that, but also the acreage of tank, panel, handlebars, panniers and topbox would be a step up from the small footprint of the Versys.
Top box - yes I can fit two helmets in it.
Panniers - I'm not so sure. The Versys pannier will hold a helmet, the wing's won't. It's slightly longer but it doesn't have the width.
Overnighting might be interesting. I can throw a duffle bag over the Versys pillion seat. The wing's is more curved so that may be a challenge.
Handlebars - haven't really felt a difference but the cruise control is pretty good. The Versys' grip warmers are better. U-turning is more of a challenge.
Acreage of tank... not really sure what I can get from a full tank. The needle drops from full quicker than the Versys but drops gradually. The Versys takes ages to drop from full but once the first bar goes the rest drop more quickly.
