Mine is  givi A720 I think I'm not sure why they stopped it as it's a 4 point mount so doesn't flap about like some screens I've seen in the past

:cheers:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

I´ve got a Givi, may seem a bit large on the photo, but it´s not that large. The other day I polished it and in between I tried the bike without the screen and what a difference. Had forgot how it was without. No screen = lots of pressure on the head and chest. It´s similar to the actual Givi A210 (their site has a GSX14) or the A200 (this one seems shorter).

I'm using the same Jeykey. Suits me, not too big, not too small.  :onya:

I am seriously thinking about an R1200RS as a touring bike. I don't like the GS, I know they are great and the best selling bike in the universe, but to me they look like a load of scaffolding with a duck's beak stuck on the front. The RS is the same engine in a much nicer looking package. Just waiting for them to get a bit older so there are some better value used bikes for sale.

did a test ride on r1200r, not my type of bike. if you like them, so be it. i was glad to get back on 14 for ride home. they offered me 4g for 14, plus another 22g to buy it. enough said from me.

You wont regret it, I would say my R1200r is a much better bike than the 14, I still like my 14 but the beemer is smoother, handles better, brakes better and uses a lot less fuel.  It's a much more modern bike with electronic suspension, Cornering ABS, traction control, quick shifter, cruise control, heated grips, tyre monitors (told me I had a flat before I noticed it the other day, new tyre on route) and a shaft drive.  It has more power less weight and the same torque as the 14 so shifts a bit better, the RS is the same bike with a small fairing.  If you buy one go for one with as many extras as you can, they hold their prices better.

I had a beemer in the 80's and liked it a lot, I was not a fan of the telelever front end but the new bikes have gone back to USD forks which are great.  It's not everyone's cup of tea but I like it.  If you after a new bike grog I hope you find what you are looking for.
