My ZXR is tucked up in a medium, apart from a little rear tyre showing, its as snug as a bug in a bike cover Thumbs Up

I'd have thought large would be for Gold Wings and the like.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

When I bought a dust cover for my Aprilia RS125 a few years back I wasn't sure what size to go with either. I emailed the company that was selling them and asked them, they told me which size would be right for my bike. Try asking them about yours, and if they are a half decent company they will be able to help you out with the sizing dilema.

I would guess at a medium as well, both my ZX6R and GPZ 500S complete with Givi rack on the GPZ fit under a medium. I know one of the covers is an Oxford cover, not sure of the other make though, might even be an Oxford as well - both bought off egay. Thumbs Up

I had a medium cover for my CG125 but when I got my hornet 600 it would not fit! So had to get the large one, much better Thumbs Up

If you are in real doubt and can't exchange it if its wrong, go for the larger size and at least you know it will fit, even if its a little loose.

When I got mine, the sales assistant told me to try it and return it for the bigger size if needed Very Happy

Medium. There were plenty of ads on EBay for covers, targetted at specific bikes. The one I saw targetted at z750 was an Oxford product (can't remember the specific type though) and it was definately medium.

Just had a look at my oxford covers. The outdoor one is XL and swallows my trail bike at 2x1.3x1.3 (LxHxW) with space to spare on the length and width. It's only the fact that it's got high mirrors that it requires a XL.

It's been on a vfr400 and it was way too big.

I did go with the intention of measuring it, but it's hard trying to measure something that has no real shape.

Covers are a pain in the arse, so i'd prefer snug to loose.
