I've got one on my bike and im 99% sure its a medium. I think large is meant for crusiers and other monster bikes. Wait for confirmation though as i am somehwat inebriated.

Just a point of order; They are great covers but if you leave them touching the ground they can suck up water into the lining. I just have mine slightly elevated off the ground.

ive been looking into it and the dimensions of the medium are perfect for width and height, but aparently 10cm shy on length, it migth squeeze on, but i dont really want to get a large as it will definatly touch the ground

If I remember correctly, I have the medium and it's a perfect fit.

I have a medium too & it's fine.
If you go for something hideous like a *cringe* topbox you'll probably need a large

+1 for the medium ... front and back are elasticated and once on the bike (SV) leaves about a 6 - 9" gap from the ground.

medium is fine although mine was a little long and touched the floor so make sure you tuck it up a bit to avoid it sucking up water!

Medium, Don't buy it though if you're planning on carrying it around - it's huge!

I get loads of woodlice and other kreepy crawlies getting into mine when I forget to tuck mine up!

It's that big and heavy that you can throw it in the back of a pick-up and drive along dual carriageway and it doeasn't even move, let alone blow out of the back!!
