Anyone with a CF Moto 650 MT/GT is bound to be heading off on a motorbike tour at some point in the near future and what is one thing that is going to be needed on such a trip? Motorcycle luggage.

With motorcycle luggage comes a plethora of manufacturers, sizes and styles, but not just any option is going to suffice in meeting the requirements for a tour. Fear not, that is what we are here for, to help you find the best possible options.

Why Choose CF Moto 650 MT/GT?

CF Moto is a motorcycle brand that has seen a real surge in popularity in recent times and it is clear to see why. The 650 MT and GT models, otherwise known as ‘Multifunctional Touring’ and ‘Grand Touring’, feature a streamlined design that is both stylish and practical.

These strong, durable motorbikes have been designed with safety and comfort in mind, allowing them to handle the multi-terrain travel, curves and climbs found on tours even with the additional weight of a pillion and luggage. All of this is achieved through the use of lightweight suspension forks, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), an upgraded 650cc engine and more.

Why Consider SHAD Motorcycle Luggage?

CF Moto motorbikes come with pannier fitting kits readily installed and thus there are not a lot of panniers that are compatible with these bikes. As such, many opt for CF Moto branded luggage, however, most of it is actually produced by SHAD and therefore, SHAD panniers are also a viable option.

SHAD not only manufacture high-quality top boxes, panniers and tank bags that are both waterproof and lockable, the fact that they make the majority of CF Moto’s luggage means you are essentially paying a premium price for a CF Moto badge. Why would anyone want to be charged an arm and a leg for a logo when SHAD offer the same great quality at more affordable prices.

Additionally, SHAD fitting kits are designed and tested for specific models of motorcycle and can be used to mount a range of top boxes, panniers and tank bags, allowing you to keep the same luggage if you change your motorbike. Whereas, CF Moto luggage cases only fit to the specific bike’s existing racks and if you then change your bike you will have the added expense of new luggage.

When assessing SHAD’s motorcycle top boxes, you really are spoilt for choice with a number of sizes and styles to choose from. Luckily, we have handpicked two of the best options, the SH47 and SH59x, and here is what they can provide:

Best Panniers For CF Moto 650 MT/GT?

SHAD’s motorcycle pannier range is not quite as extensive as their list of top boxes, but that does not mean there are a lack of options. The SH35s and SH36s are two that spring to mind and here is what can be expected from them.

Best Tank Bag For CF Moto 650 MT/GT?

While motorcycle tank bags are already considered one the most convenient luggage options due to be situated within hands’ reach, it would be a tall task to find any more convenient than SHAD’s click system tank bags.

SHAD’s click system is a one of a kind mounting kit that allows their tank bags to effortlessly slot in and out of place in mere seconds and acts as the ideal alternative to those fiddly, time-consuming magnets and straps that are used to secure most other tank bags.

With the element of convenience alongside the addition of waterproof rain covers, secure locking system and internal capacities ranging from 3-13 litres, any of SHAD’s click system tank bags would be a welcomed addition to the 650MT/GT. The choice ultimately depends on how much storage space you intend to use.

You should now have all of the information required to find the best motorcycle luggage options for your next adventure with your CF Moto 650 MT/GT.

With their motorbike top boxes, panniers and tank bags, it would be hard to look past SHAD and the only thing left to do is to secure yourself some luggage and hit the roads.
