I've not found the Givi racks for the R1200R. Are they still available? Anyone know who sells them?

*Edit* Actually, I guess I had seen them here previously. I think I was looking for non-PLX side cases at the time, and I think only the SW-Motech fits the bill.

I really like these panniers over the OEM BMW ones but I'm not a fan of the look when they are off the bike and I'd only use them from time to time so I'd probably not go for these.

The SW-Motech ones above look a bit better since most of the side racks are removeable. Not as clean as the BMW mounts, but pretty close. And then you can buy the cheaper and more spacious Givi bags, like the E41, etc.

There is a new smaller Givi top case: B33 in Monokey or Monolock; Monokey for the motorcycle mount. I have GIVI side cases and racks for R1200R; I don't use them as I can get by with one of the 55 top cases for a weekend. Make me an offer for the side cases and racks.

I generally just run the bike with the smallest top case; before the B33, it was a 35 now discontinued that was pretty ugly. New 33 is better looking by far.

Many of my friends run side cases and no top case. YMMV
