Looking on Amazon to replace a old and wind-ripped cheap cover. For a 85 Honda cb650sc nighthawk.

Any suggestions?

Depends on budget and if you want quality or not.

Argos currently selling a cover for £11
might be worth a punt at that price.

Here in Taiwan, used a heavy PVC canvas printed "banner" sign which had rope edging and grommets.

This obviously isnt a tailored fit, but I''d think some gaps are no bad thing for ventilation, to keep corrosion at bay.

Here the sun blasts thin plastic to dust very quickly, and then a typhoon blows the dust away.

Quite a few people I know recommend Oxford covers. Not sure which version but the price variation across the range is huge.

I've had a few Oxford covers. The light/cheap ones barely last a year - sun and frost get to them - and just about protect the bike from bird shit and nowt else. The better ones are fully or partially heavy tarp outer with fabric inner and vents.
