A few weeks ago I took delivery of a new Hein Gericke “Rain” Cover. I was struggling to find something that would go over the R1200GSA because of the high screen. I ordered the XL size and to my amazement fits the bike perfectly with all the luggage installed.

It is made from thick material that is like a dinghy on the outside but soft on the inside. The breathable panels let any trapped dew/moisture out and it feels like it will last years. Compared to the previous, Oxford, cover I had for the Suzuki, it is even easier to handle as it doesn’t have elastic all around the base. It will take some autumnal winds to find out if it is as secure though!
After a month, it is on my Highly Recommended list. I’ll report back if this should change.





Having just bought a new BMW R1200GS Adventure, I was thinking that I should get a cover for it as I keep the bike outside.
Having read this I think I might be getting a Hein Gericke cover!
