thanks hanz! i didn't expect to find sidecase mounts for a supermoto... who knew, a touring supermoto... it's really meant for a 640 but i think the 625 and 640 share the same subframe. $229 + sidecases.

If you are going to leave them on permanently, I would say hard case saddlebags. An occassional bag, the top hard one or soft saddles.
i was thinking the top case would be worse for handling than the ventura rack+bag because the top case would sit further back than the bag.

i've tried the ventura rack set up before with my r1. granted its a totally different bike, but as far as handling goes, i didn't notice a difference, although i was not kneedragging.

my concern with the topcase is the weight further back on the bike on a lightweight bike, plus i think it might look a little goofy, esp a narrow single cylinder bike.

decisions, decisions... thanks for the feedback guys!
