I have used GIVI stuff in the past. I never had a problem with any of it. GIVI is coming out with the TREKKER line of metal boxes. I bet the main difference would be in a wreck at speed, where the metal boxes will withstand more impact than the plastic one by GIVI!!!
Aren't the Trekker boxes aluminum-clad plastic, like the Yamaha ones? Look at the pictures - the bottom half of the case is black like a regular Givi case.
Not that that's a bad thing, just that I think the strength will be the same as the regular Givis.
I will probably get the Trekkers because I've always been happy with Givi, I like the Monokey system, and I like the idea of the quick-access top-opening feature. It's also important to my wife that there be a backrest available. The V2s seem nice but less convenient and much heavier, so they're my second choice. If I were going to do more off-road than is likely, I might want the aluminum more.
