Used to have Krausers on a Bee Emm years ago and it was astonishing how much we could pack into those - like two Tardis's

All Honda's should have Topbox's fitted as standard. I mean why else does anyone buy a Honda apart from being a work horse and carry stupid load of stuff.

They arn't any good at anything else.

Hi. I'm Beanie, and I have a top box. I'm sorry. I do agree that they are fairly ugly, and I on;y use it when absolutely necessary - like if I take the bike into work. I gotta say though, that it's worth it cos the amount of street cred that Miss Currie gets is unbelieveable!

Your missing the point....if you walk around in leathers/carry a helmet not only do you attract envious stares, but it helps you attract tail

Once again the point has been missed....why make one embaressing journey, overloaded with candy canes and such like, when you can make several and look good in the progress.

Hmph Depends on the bike... I can assure you the Biffer is very, very, very good at many things aside from carrying stuff - the topbox is still in storage so not used it so far.

Yeah I was kinda trying to wind up those Honda sportsbike type riders, but guess I'm not going to get a bite today.
