However I do like the look of the Suzuki S1000GT. Maybe in a couple of years when I have finished paying the mortgage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAYK47 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 There is a fair bit of load to spread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly got one myself but got a 35l Givi EA107B instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been out in a major downpour but was caught in a shower and everything was bone dry. Well worth it in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I never used the Givi tail bag, I ended up buying some SW Motech panniers, expensive but well worth it.

Panniers definitely better but I don't want to put panniers on my bike as I think it will look silly, plus I commute to Docklands and need to be slim to get through traffic.

Fair enough. I have the panniers fitted to a CB1000R and I commuted from Dover to Stoke a month or so back after a trip to France on a Friday afternoon filtering through motorway traffic no issues.
