You're becoming my favorite reviewer on the BMW bikes. Thanks for the videos!

@larryvanputten4048 Год назад

Wow, Scott, you really are in a productive mood these day's! Appreciate it!

@illiyakuryakin3092 Год назад

Nice review, Scott. I have the ‘22 RT like yours. I never thought I would care for a tank bag, but finally purchased the SW Motech Daypack, and love it. So handy for sunglasses, gloves, water bottle, ear plugs, snacks, etc. SW Motech quality is evident after many months of use. Keep those RT and RT product reviews coming! Thank you.

@albertol1529 Год назад

I understand the cost performance/benefit argument. I think the deal is here to negotiate the BMW top case as part of your deal. Having central locking and alarm and lighting might not seem worth paying £1000/€1100 for, but when you SW Motech gets removed with a Stanley knife, it might make you regret not buying it. There’s another channel which found (and bought) the top case for £600. He fitted it himself along with the high level brake light. This is the issue with the GS/A when used for touring. It’s all manual locking and I think it depends on what sort of riding your doing as to whether you decide on soft, hard or OEM luggage….and the depth of your pockets and how brave you’re feeling when you reveal the purchase to your wife.

@albertol1529 Год назад

I forgot to add: I used the BMW large soft bag on my K1200S. It’s now about £175/€190 and I can recommend that since it’s capacity is 55litres and it’s sitting with two BMW System 6 helmets in comfortably with space for gloves and other gear. The current one is blue, and you showed a picture of the small one. Check that out if you want top quality at a lower price than the SW-Motech.

Unfortunately dealers say pay or no play, if you can do it good on you. Oem case is sweet, but for that much?

Hahaha no way…I literally JUST put an order in for this bag for an upcoming motocamping trip I have in a few weeks. Anyways, just had to say what great timing this vid is for me, now it’s time to actually finish watching 😅

SW Motech! Glorious equipment. Engineered with functional quality in mind. Built to enjoy and last.

@asturiancetorix2552 Год назад

I have the OEM with brake ligh and... well, it´s not the biggest, nor the cheapest, but as usual it´s whats fits the bike the best. It has soft material inside, a velours mat, hydraulic arms, and even a bulb light...

@brandonmcdaniel4216 Год назад

Oh hell yes, I just got a Tracer 900 and looking for a top bag so this is super helpful!

@WatermarquePaul Год назад

All depends on usage, leaving my RT parked up in Florence while I explored the city was a chore with rear soft case. Ended up finding a locker at the train station to store bag. Have a lockable hard case now.

@macky573021 Год назад

Been running this bag on my GSA and love it,

@wandering_armadillo Год назад

How timely, I just added some SW Motech Blaze sidebags to my new RS this week. They are sleek AND look good AND affordable. I've trusted SW Motech with crashbars on past bikes too. Two thumbs up for the review (as you say !)

@NVET92 Год назад

Have the same bag on the back of my Harley Street Glide. Outstanding piece of equipment. 🤙

@IanTed Год назад

Ordered the rack pack but long delay so went with the the rear bag, smaller but excellent rear seat bag and expandable too. The straps are easy to use and very secure.

@ttrguy9952 Год назад

I have the same one x 2 on my brand new Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer! One is for my camera gear and one is for charging all my stuff. SW-Motech makes the best gear you can buy PERIOD! I have all their travel gear and it is perfectly designed. Thanks for this video Sir!! Ride SAFE and BE safe Scot

@NotNowCato1254 Год назад

I was not prepared to pay the exorbitant price for BMW hard luggage for my RS. I went for the SHAD SH35 boxes (just panniers, no top case). They are quality items and the brushed aluminium trim suits the bike well. Also the mounting kit is well-designed and quite unobtrusive. All for less than half the price of the BMW stuff. No brainer. Thanks Scott.

@Pyrrho_ Год назад

Have the full set of OEM hard luggage w/liners for my R1250RS. No brainer -- an expensive bike with expensive luggage and I accept it. Lockable hard cases beat soft luggage in nearly every situation.

@julianahelenadavis8110 Год назад

I Appreciate the video. Thank you for your time :)

@illiyakuryakin3092 Год назад

Well Scott, you talked me into it. SW-Motech should know that, lol. Since I already have the SW-Motech Daypack tank bag, this Rackpack will be a good match. I plan to use this along with my Touratech dry bag to do some camping in a couple weeks. I found this Rackpack ONLY available from SW_Motech. I shopped at my local (Chicago area) Cycle Gear store where I get a discount, and online but everyone found the Rackpack “Discontinued”. Please keep your reviews of our RT’s and accessories coming. Those (And other BMW bikes) are the only reviews I am interested in 😁. Ride safe.

@shmac96 Год назад

I wish I could do what you do or at least help. Im in Erfurt! Love your videos! I didn't know what SW Motech was when I moved to Germany and the same goes for Büse. I thought Büse was some kind of chain store brand like when you see food products at Edeka, Rewe or Tegut etc. But Büse and the rest are pretty good quality. SW Motech since learning about them I have always liked! Prost!

@bobwampler3387 Год назад

@johnhughes7062 4 месяца назад

@donpetryna4356 Год назад

I am using a givi 47 with the aluminum mount on my 2023 1250 RT. Used it on my k1600 for past 4 years and still works awesome. No leaks, lots of room, looks great and no issues. Chose this instead of OEM as it is only $700 with the mount. OEM is really overpriced and you still have to paint it.

@NothingToProve Год назад

Thank you for the comment, I just looked and I can get that for about half the price of the OEM here in Germany. Hmm...🤔

Very easy to attach/detach... but what do you do with the straps when you remove the bag and want to go for a ride?

@lpls 18 дней назад

For civilized places only. Loved the solution... but I'd unfortunately get pretty worried someone would steal the bag (or contents) on a bathroom stop.

@arejrgensen1152 Год назад

Appels and oranges! I don’t doubt that the reviewed bag is ok, but price wise you should compare it to the “BMW Softbag 3 Large” and not the hardcase.

Looks pretty flimsy...how will it hold up to hwy speeds?? And then there's security issue when you go in for lunch.

I've done 230km/h on the autobahn no problem with it at all.

@FxRiderST Год назад

It's a good case no doubt. However... let's face it, a bike of this caliber, does not have a look as it suppose to have with a cheep alternative like this. It just doesn't belong there.

@herrdirektor1969 6 месяцев назад

I don't like this one. It is not fully waterproof. Bmw has an excellent softbag large, expandable and waterproof in grey and now also in black. Have it for over 10 years and it will fit again on my new RT.😎

@alexmorgan3435 Год назад

Re top boxes. Get a Givi Maxima hard case 2nd hand about 150€ which is what I did. Mint condition. You can get it painted same colour as panniers and bike if you want and still be quids in. 1100€ for a BMW top box is outrageous. Rip off!

@danielcassani8712 Год назад

Thank you for the review. I have the exact same RT as yours. My RT has the BMW topcase which is connected to the central locking and is water- and theftproof. Since a topcase is nothing nice to look at I rarely have it mounted. The SW-Motec bag is incredibly ugly and does not fit the good looks of the RT. I recommend to pay the extra money for the BMW topcase.

@05Hogsrule Год назад

It is nice to have Options for riding; soft-pak has an advantage and disadvantage, i.e., just another soft-pak, right? if you are riding single, sure, ok, but I don't like the quick release rings or straps if you have some form of load in the bad. I don't think those thin, cheap aluminum "alloy" will endure long. If the cloth loops are strong enough, consider a stronger loop. 2nd. if I have a 2nd rider, I would not trust the strength of those loops for the same reason, as a rider sometimes likes to let go and lean against the backrest/sissy bar w/pad on a harley or a hard box/pack that is stock from BMW. Again, those loops are thin and cheap, i don't think they would hold a person for long, over time, if you are riding for comfort...as a passenger.
