My mates take the piss...but if Lamborghinis can use ski-boxes... (In all seriousness, an extremely practical way to tour... the Givi Monolock plate is bolted directly to a spare rear seat so I can remove the whole lot easily. ) Edit...It's just occurred to me that this arrangement isn't possible on a Desmosedici...
Oh..I don't know about that! I did 2000km last September over three days with no motorways used...actually really really enjoyed it. In bed fast asleep before 8pm though
Yer a younger man than me then (55) - luckily my rsv4 goes for 90 miles on a tank so no matter what im getting off it!
Struggling a bit with the superduke, a very small rear seat, soft luggage looks as though it will cover the rear light assembly, probably go Kriega..plus the ‘four way, four day undies’..)
Have done touring with guys on T9 plenty of times a few years ago, they all managed well The givi plate adaption is genius @Bumpkin
I love a couple days (3-4 max) touring with my 916. I prefer riding with an alpine rucksack (25 liters) on my back and usually limit the day to 300-400 km max. I have done the occasional 700km trip on the 916, but there was absolutely no way I could have ridden the next day…
Yep- that being said its only motorway riding on the RSV that aches a bit....the farthest it goes is to the TT but once your there and on what i would say are normal roads when your moving around i could be on it all day, but only at higher speeds...slow speeds like most other sports bikes does ache a bit.!
My mate on his 996 (post further up) tours with me for one or two week trips. Quite honestly, having ridden his bike whilst away, I don't understand quite how he manages it without apparent pain... He's a year younger than me and turned 60 last year, made of sterner stuff... His bike reached 50,000 miles on last years trip to the Harz Mountains.
I think size has a lot to do with it (oo er). That 2k trip was on my 996 which I find comfier than the 999. I'm a reasonably lithe 5'10..
Kriega and pyramid rack. Plenty of securing points and leaves access to slide out the pazzy seat for lock/tool storage.
