Top Box

[flatfour]

That looks as though it is the same case as fitted to the Versys with the GT package. If so, it really is well made and looks good too. The top box on my Versys GT is a far better product than the item fitted as standard on my 2012 GTR Tourer which, whilst it looked OK was so flimsy that only the lid held it in shape when it was full!

Are you referring to the Blade or the Kawasaki branded one?

[O.C.]

If I understand Colin correctly he is referring to the case fitted to his latest generation 2 Versys 1000 GT, and how much better it is than the one fitted to his Generation 1 Versys 1000,

The latest case which he mentions is this ...which does bear a resemblance to the Givi Blade

Nah that looks more like a Givi V47

[mikeyw64]

and somewhat surprisingly Kawasaki aren't charging a premium over a vanilla V47 (in fact its cheaper than the V47nt with smoked reflectors)

Apologies for the confusion that I seem to have created. The top case on my Versys 1000 is the Kawasaki branded type as shown and, I told by the dealer that it is a Givi product. The earlier one that I referred to was the standard fit on my 1400 GTR Grand Tourer and this was far less good.

kawasaki branded luggage is Kappa product, which I believe is a division of Givi, hence the similarity 

It is my opinion having looked at Kappas, that they are a cheaper version of Givi, produced by Givi.
I like the look of Wook's.
What's the rrp from Kawasaki and is there a way of getting it any cheaper? Perhaps via a cash back site etc?

Looks like the Kawasaki branded Givi is the way to go.
The Givi equivalent is £215 from J&S
Kawasaki want £147
And the plate carrier is very good value too at £79.

I've just received my new top box.
The Givi E55NT.
It's being discontinued so if you want one get in quick.
Cheapest place is Motocard at £175 incl delivery from Spain.
I'll post a pic when it's fitted and the sun is shining but until then here's the stock photo:

Now that is good value for money      

[Biker Bugs]

Prefer the V56NNT myself.
Same style as the Kawasaki one.

Just need to shell out the £200 now lol.

In smoked tint with black trim.
Looks ace!
