OUt for a Ride!
I have passed the 500 mile mark this weekend and I must say that the more I ride the Sh, the more I enjoy it. About the only negative thing I can say about it, is that it's storage is lacking. Still, I have average 85.4 mpg (US gal) over this period and have not explored the top end, but have seen 65 mph riding solo and 62 mph indicated riding two up with a little left in the throttle (speedo seems to be pretty close to being dead on). Anyways, here is a pic of my scoot with the Givi E370 top case...

Re: OUt for a Ride!
After riding a standard motorcycle for the last 3 seasons... I am tickled with the storage space with the OEM topbox... I have had milk, sugar, eggs, donuts on one trip to the grocery... & detergent, t paper, kleenex, trashbags & cookies on another trip.
Like you said all with over 85 MPG.

Re: OUt for a Ride!
I will agree as the OEM topbox seems similar in size ( 35 vs. 39 liters), and looks much better on the scoot than my Givi (Givi won in my case as I also use it on my Burgman and it cost less, even with the adapter plate). But, I have found that putting too much weight in the top case (well in excess of the recommended 3 Kg) comes at a cost as handling suffers a little (granted, at those times I'm usually have my wife as passenger and she has her backpack with computer with books in the top case).I am tickled with the storage space with the OEM topbox...

Re: OUt for a Ride!
I completely understand about multitasking with utilizing the Givi on both scooters... smart money.
