The three things I look for in a bike are fuel economy, riding comfort for distance, and storage. since I was used Yamaha Majesty, my new bike falls short on all three categories. It came with saddle bags which help, but you can't really put something in a leather bag with no lock and expect it to be 100% safe....not even 80%. I had the Givi trunk from the scooter and since Kat and I put the rack on the back, I figured I would see if the Givi mount would work on that rack. It fits perfectly and now I have my storage back (or at least some of it). The saddle bags expand somewhat (which the underseat storage and the Givi never did) but they are not completely waterproof or secure. The Givi case has a lock, and I used it extensively on the scoot. Now I have engine guards and pegs to buy (for comfort) and then I will be comparable to the scooter. Shifting doesn't bother me, and on the highway where the scoot would get worse mpg (down to mid 40's) the bike gains mpg (up to almost 50).
