Anyone have a recommended bike cover?

[Eraldorh]

Iv gone through literally dozens of bike covers now the JVC ones the oxford ones and the cheap chinese shit covers as well. So far not a single one has lasted more than about 8-9 months before the weather turns the material to paper and it starts tearing when im putting it on or taking it off. At this point i may as well just buy the cheaper £10 chinese covers because they last the same amount of time.

Anyone have a recommended heavy duty brand thats lasted long term? one that has a thicker material that wont turn into tissue paper so fast.

This one gets good reviews, and is ride recommended https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/275658

I have this one, which lasted well. Was really great for the first four years, but five years on has gone really brittle now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R-G-Outdoor-Waterproof-Motorcycle-Cover-for-Supersport-Superbikes-in-Silver/323419516016?chn=ps&norover=1&mkrid=7101533165274578&mkcid=2&itemid=323419516016&targetid=4584826055637459&device=t&campaignid=412354546&mkgroupid=1299623041023876&rlsatarget=pla-4584826055637459&abcId=9300541&merchantid=87779&msclkid=9f582355e8001784072b41c779ce6a49&pageci=58f4f1f2-0bfe-42a9-bfd7-c76f206bb568&redirect=mobile

Posted on here somewhere about my cover from LTR. Well made and worth the money

That storm X one looks good and has a nice lining, think i might give that a shot. Thanks!

The cover I had on my 125 was a BikeIt and is still going strong. Once I replaced the 125 with the tracer I got an Oxford Stormex which has been rpelaced after 7 months due to falling apart. This second one is holding up a little better at the moment. Would I buy another though..... not a hope in hell

I had an Oxford and it lasted barely a year of outside use. I now use it as a dust cover when the bike is at my daughter's place. I now use the Chinese (XL?) one that was being pushed on here a while back. After 18 months it's still in good nick. Yes it's thin but it's waterproof still and unlike the Oxford the seams are still 100%.

It has vents and allows the bike to dry out, rather than trap dampness inside. They tend to last about 2 years before the sun gets to the fabric and it starts to split.
