First one I have seen that doesn't look like it's prepped for a trip of Europe, massive panniers and top box etc. Cool

It's got the rails though Wink

Mine lives looking pretty much identical - the panniers sit on top of the wardrobe in the spare room which very much pleases the wife Laughing


Nice bike Thumbs Up Hope you enjoy it

I'm so torn on the top box. On the one hand i hate it, on the other it is bloody practical. That and my tank bag is now useless!

Same problem I had

Panniers aren't as big as they look, either

Love the colour!

BUT how big does that rear end look above the rear wheel?! Is it the angle the shot is taken from?

They do stick up a lot at the back, but I think it's the top box rack making it look worse than it is. Having the panniers on seems to even it out.

This is my Dilemma

I think it looks rubbish with it and just OK with it off. Does anyone know how easy the rack is to remove?

Leave it a month, you'll stop caring. Smile

It's a pain and leaves holes. It's a tourer, it looks good with boxes and shit strapped onto the back seat. Plus they're really handy (and you will end up leaving the topbox on cos it's the handiest of the lot and you can't see it when you're on it.) Thumbs Up

I also agree with many folk who've said it handles better with all the weight on the back. Almost like it was designed to have it there...
