I was thinking of getting this one but in the end went with the small BMW waterproof tank bag. Easy to fit and worked well on my trip to Norway and carried all the bits and piece i needed.

Thanks for your time, great review can't wait to watch more.love the tank bag....but.. I dont know why all tank bags aren't water proof? It would be the go to bag for running around and if rains you have to stop and put a bag over a bag? I think I will spend just a bit more and get a water proof one. Thanks again great video.

Glenn S I certainly agree with that. It is a pain but this bag seems just the right size with all the other luggage as a day bag with just easy to reach stuff. Thanks for the comment though. Ride safe

G'Day Nick, Happy New Year mate. You've been quiet lately, hope you're going well. I'm looking at this bag at the moment and wondering if you're still happy with it? Appreciate any feedback....

Hi Nick and happy new year too. Yep all good here except a multitude of lockdowns and winter. Yep still happy with it. Looks like a pimple on your arse but functional and surprising what you can get in there. Mine has at least.... wallet, mobile (although I’m not sure the bag lowers Bluetooth), spare glasses in case, visor cleaner, hand sanitizer, masks, spare change, side stand foot extender (until this Christmas), USB 4-way connector (although I don’t use this so much now as you can ‘overload’ Socket and then nothing seems to charge. GoPro twin charger, Power Bank, Masks. Another riders spare keys (we always swap on tour) and quite a few additional things. It is surprising. It’s good to just unplug and I clip it. (Simple) to take with you for security or to re-fuel. Only downside is the fact it needs a ‘condom cover’ to be waterproof but that just sits in the lid and the mobile phone pouch if you think you will use the phone is totally impractical 👍🏻

Hi Nick, new subscriber and a great review thanks. Don't know how tall you are, but does the bag block your view to the TFT? ps. Go for the 1250GSA Exclusive, loving mine!

Hi Peter and welcome along. No, nowhere near blocks the view of TFT. You forget it’s on there but it’s a great day bag for the stuff you want to hand. Be aware if you go bigger they all have a 2kg weight limit restricted I guess by the panels on the bike tank structure which are plastic

Thanks for the video, does it impair visibility of the dash or anything during riding?
@nickhodgeUK
2 жыл бұрын
No not at all. In that regard it’s often better than larger one’s which when manoeuvring the bike and going from lock to lock can hit switches and on the BMW the most regular for that is the ABS switch!!

It is 2020 and there are hundreds of negative reviews on all of GIVI tank bags from them not honoring their warranty claims and the zippers coming apart in less than 6 months! What's up with the truths on the quality of these bags?

Javan. Why would I review it badly when I have no issue? I bought this bag, Givi never gave it me. I have two friends with the same bag and no trouble. I don’t get why I should downgrade something I find good. Complaining will Alway make more noise I guess?

@@nickhodgeUK I don't know if you checked the many reviews on KZitem and on various Online Stores, like Amazon and comments are from "Verified Purchase" of GIVI bags. This leaves us at the cross-road as who is providing the true rating of these bags. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qniCwJiajZaCY6A I can post many negative reviews from people that bought them from Amazon -
Javan Dell People must make up their own mind in balance. It is opinion. I still use that bag and love it, so do my friends. I’m not here to defend it. My review, posted nearly two year’s ago is STILL a truthful review of my experience. I can tell however you’re not going to buy one and that’s fine 👍🏻👍🏻

I don’t know about Givi honouring their warranty. But I can tell you that I had a similar bag that went from a Beemer F700 GS to a Tiger 800 and now to a 1250 GS. Say 19 years and it is still good intact. Maybe a bit softer but I SM happy if it lasts 5 yrs only.
