Any recommendations for a good motorbike cover that people have used and liked - looking mid range £45-£60 or so.

I use one from Argos, covers the bike very well (I have the normal one) Smile Sometimes theres the odd few droplets of water on the inside though, but I'm sure thats just wind pressure from underneath

Normal one and Large one

I was thinking

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MOTORBIKE-WATERPROOF-VENTED-EASILY-CARRIED/dp/B001V1AMQO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1322235739&sr=8-4

But may go for a held or other style if people think they worth it.

I went for one similar to that before and it ripped whilst putting it on the bike cheap and nasty though that might be different.

Ended up with a cheap oxford cover keeps the bike dry and does its job great.

The Oxford Stormex is pretty awesome.

Fluffy on the inside so it doesnt scratch your bike and properly waterproof and breathable Thumbs Up

I used an Oxford Stormex on mine before I moved to a house with a garage. In fact it is currently covering my KDX in my mate's garden. Very heavy duty, waterproof, flock-lined so easy on the paintwork, has holes to pass a lock through and reflective markers for road use. I did get some condensation in it but this is inevitable.

+1 for Oxford Stormex. Pricey, but good.

Mine has faded rather alot over the 4~5 years or so that I've had it, and whilst it has never let water in, it has stopped making the water bead off and sometimes becomes sodden.

Bottle of nikwax uv & water gearproof sorted it nicely Smile

Just got an Oxford Rainex, got Ride's best buy award a few months ago. Seems well made and slightly cheaper than the stormex...

Id say 5 years + is a pretty good run for any cover

I'm looking at getting a oxford cover off ebay, would a medium fit my gsx600f? not a massive bike im thinking a large would have a lot of excess hanging like a wizards sleeve.

I have the Medium sized Oxford stormex and that fits my SV650 nicely if that helps.
