Re: UK - Top box and/or rack

I took the red Ducati/Givi box off of my 620 when I bought it last year. Not used since and mint. Now bought soft side jobbies so probably not use the top one in future. Will keep the plate though, as makes a useful little rack. Any offers?

Re: Fuel Mileage on the 620?

Only had mine for a month, done about 600 miles at exactly 59 mpg (UK). Commuting locally plus 80-85 mph cruising.
