point 5) is quite subjective.. what's wow to you might not be wow to others.. esp coupled with point 3). putting a topbox definitely will not command wow factor.. unless you put a starhub sized box in a, lets say r1 or fz1. you might get "wow! first time i see r1 put such a big box!"

 

other wise, can consider fz1, blackbird, kawa gtr1400, st11/13, haya, fjr. basically sports tourers.

 

i also looking for c2 bikes that can put topbox, but will exclude the wow factor, what i want is readily available rack and brackets for the topbox on a SPORTSBIKE. yes it will look ugly to most, but i cannot do without a topbox lah. haha.

 

all the best in your search.

bro thanks a million for yr suggestions. Ya i guess put box cannot have e wow factor. But then again how bout a minimum WOW? Haha.. i cannot live w/o box. i need to ferry my doggie arnd too. but really appreciate for yr bikes listed. Wil do a shortlist for those uve mentioned.

 

fz1, blackbird, kawa gtr1400, st11/13, haya, fjr.

 

im considering FZ1-S and fjr and st1300..

[dragonforce]

how about a bagpack with your cute doggie fastened inside? you can "pi chia" and let your dog have feel of the wind blowing at its face too.. lol.

 

but at the moment with your s4, your dog is inside your box while ride? wont your dog get ?

[edwardthy]

oh ive a carrier bag which i placed him in it haha.. so far hes okie inside.. hes v rugged dog one.. can chiong w me 120kmh on e highway no prob.. just that i need a more sturdy class 2 bike on e road now.. stil comtemplating btw fjr 1300 or st1300.. so hope someone can help me explore e possibilities..

[zhiyuan]

how abt fz1?

[skateboy]

basically, there r limited class 2 bikes that looks ok with topbox. sport tourers r one of the few choices u can choose from. but u need to consider the weight of the tourers. u wun wanna push them ie in carpark lot. another is FZ1S. no wow factor but ok with cases.

[NightPhantom]

if 800cc is okay to u... interceptor... i think its really quite nice...

 

personally.. i find the current trend 2009/2010 trend is... powerful but fking ugly bikes.... so i'll go for old sch...

[Wayang]

suzuki vstrom 1000.. if u realli wan low fuel consumption.. get the 650

[mild_slevin]

Hmmmm why not TS just ride ur S4? Cause your current S4 solve most of your problem. OR the COE runs out soon?

 

Is Yamaha VMAX a choice?

[kawasabi]

zzr1400 or gtr1400

[edwardthy]

can zzr1400 or gtr1400 put top box? i need practicability and wow factor. considering fjr at e moments.. pls keep idea juices flowing.. lai lai.. tks all..

[dragonforce]

i suppose both can put.. there's a gtr1400 parked at my office car park and i see a rack for topbox..

[sh3rman]

goldwing counted?

though i know nth abt cls2..

but it looks huge.. sure got wow.

[barefoot]

Hi Edwardthy,

 

I have owned a couple of those bikes you have in your shopping list.

 

For FZ1, check:

For STX1300, check:

I have got the new Honda VFR1200F in my sight. Eta 2010Q2, if you can wait.

didnt know tat topboxes, which r usually jus a small fraction of the total cost of the bike, can b such a huge factor in bike buyer's selection. bike designers shd look at these aftermarket ''accessories'' from a different view

cos its a practical thing to have on a bike.. esp those who have that bike as their only transport..

 

vfr is what i am considering..

Hw about a BMW R 1200GS??

I think the BMW GS series looks great with H&B panniers and topbox, especially the aluminium ones.

 

I think it probably looks better with the boxes than without. Might want to consider the 1200GS as the post above mentioned.
