Hi All,
I'm doing a tour of Scotland for a week in September with my CB650R, so looking into luggage options. I've basically narrowed it down to 2:
The first is the GIVI ST609: https://www.givi.co.uk/givi-products/soft-bags/saddle-bags/st609
and secondly the SW-MOTECH BLAZE PRO: https://sw-motech.co.uk/products/pro-blaze-h-saddlebag-set-honda-cbr650r-cb650r-18-black
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these GIVI cases? I did search the forum but couldn't find any mention of them. From the website they do look pretty nice on the CB1000R. They also have the advantage of the GIVI Easylock system so lock onto the frame. The disadvantage compared to the SW-MOTECH's are the frame that is left on the bike when not in use which isn't the most aesthetically pleasing. The only drawback of the SW-MOTECH's I can really see is that the velcro straps that go over the rear seat would mean that any tail bag used also has to be removed to remove the side cases.
Discussion and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!
