What would be your recommendation for a good heavyweight bike cover to fit an FZS1000?

I bought a cheapo one on egay a couple of months ago, it's not long enough to cover the wheels all the way to the floor and the fastening hook underneath broke in the first strong winds. This time I want to spend a bit more and get something that will last and really protect the bike.

Very nice but I was hoping to spend less than £50000.

I've got one of these, and I'm fairly impressed with the quality of it, so it might be worth looking at the heavyweight versions.
Otherwise, I see a lot of those heavy canvas covers in use around here, and they're usually pretty old, which bodes well for their general survivability. Not cheap, though.

can i ask where the bike is being stored, as if in the street obviously you are restricted to using a cover, but if it's within the property something along these lines would be a much better option at a very reasonable price - https://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/motorbike-sheds
