CBR650R GIVI luggage mounting options (2020+)

[takenji1989]

Hello everyone. I'm looking into getting a recent model year (probably newer than 2020) CBR650R and am wondering about touring luggage. I have a GIVI V47 top case and V37 side cases from my current sport-touring bike (Ninja 1000SX) and was hoping that it would be possible for them to be mounted on a CBR650R, but I don't see the model listed at all. I contacted GIVI support and they suggested the CB650R top case mount (1185FZ).

My question: would either the CB650R or CBR650F racks work? I don't know how similar all of these bikes are or specifically what to look for in mounting points, so I was hoping folks here would know. Thanks!

The same generation CB and CBR will have identical tail sections so you should be fine.

Thanks. That solves the top case issue, but what about the side cases? GIVI doesn't list anything for the CB650R that would work with my side cases.

Any chance the 1137FZ ('17-'19 CBR650F) would work for a more recent CBR650R, maybe with some minor bends to the rack?

No. The tail section of the 650f and 650r is different.

While a cb and cbr 650r share a tail, the F and R models are different.
