Another beginner, Trying to figure out what type of bike...

[Scoutmedic]

You can put saddlebags and other types of bags on all bikes. They make sportbike specific saddlebags.

There are saddlebags, sissybar bags, tank bags, backpacks.... The list is pretty long and the choices varied.

The size of the bags will depend on the frame, seat, tank and other specifics of the bike. For example, I had to buy small/medium bags for my S50 to also accomodate a passenger.

Good Luck with your search!

My main concern with owning a light bike is I dont want to be blown around like a leaf on the freeway every time a truck goes by me....

There will always be an element of that but you should keep in mind that my bike is about as light as it gets and there really is nothing to be afriad of.
