Smile Suzuki 650 V-Strom Handling?

Can anyone tell me how the Suzuki 650 V-Strom handles with one up at highways speeds when fully loaded with two hard side bags and a trunk?
Thanks,

You'll be fine. We have 2 and they handle very well fully loaded. As always just try and keep the heavy stuff in the side panniers and the fluff on top. I like to carry soft luggage on top in case of a rear end collision by a cager. Bad things happen to your lower spine if you have a bolted on hard shell on back.

My 1-1/3 cents

No problems fully laden or two up.
