I started with the Large BMW bag made for the K1300S and K1200S, but found it was a little too big for my needs.
I decided to buy the smaller 10 liter BMW bag and like it much better.
Here's a pic of the large and small bag side by side.
My wife uses a small Bag Connection bag on her bike.
I also use a small Bag Connection bag for day trips.
BTW, my wife and I find our K1300Ss very comfortable for touring.

200+ miles is normally a good time to stop, stretch, and relieve one's self.....That is about 3.5 to 4 hrs on my normal route. I understand those who use the slab more get a bit better mileage, and there are always fuel stations along those routes. So, for sure it is small-ER than your RT and other more focused touring bikes, but it still has a pretty good range, at least I thought so.

Sorry for the slow reply.
We normally need to stop for fuel by 180 mile which is Ok, but I sure wouldn't complain if the tank was 1.0 gal. to 1.5 gal. bigger.

found it to be a great touring bike, with longest mileage days of about 700. except for offroading, it does everything. interstate blasts and canyon carving. took mine from Calif to Ky last june. Before that, have toured all over Utah, Idaho, Montana, Calif and Oregon.
Said goodbye to it last summer after 54000 miles, traded it for a K1600GT. Didn't think many bikes were smoother than a K12/K13, but the K16 is incredibly smooth.
