My GF isconscidering the *390 Adv as her first bike - I think it could be a great option for her. Her budget is limited, and she needs to get some good quality luggage large enough to go on a long trip.

I've ordered a Tenere 700 rally for myself, complete with the OEM aluminum panniers and racks. I'm conscidering to also get my hands on some soft panniers. My preferences are Mosko Backcountry (35), Kirega OS 32 or Lonerdider MotoBags (38) - and in that order. I might go down one size. I'm also uncertain wether I ought to go, or have to offset bag sizes.

My thought was that she could get a rack for her 390 Adv that would work with my bags and borrow my soft panniers.

However, I have not seen any 390 Adv with any of these bag options, nor found any rack that would work well with any of the bag options mentioned. I also don't know whether the 390 ought to have to have offset luggage or if same bags on both sides would be best. I also wonder if there is enough room to fit any of these bags without making the rider cramped. Lastly, how it would work with the exhaust.

Any pointers, advice and comments would be welcomed, also reccomendations for other panniers than those mentioned, greater than 25L - including budget examples.

*This bike has short shock travel, low ground clearance, only 19" front wheel (alloy), sub par hand guards, sub par footpegs for offroad, sub par gear shifter pedal and rear break pedal, only 7500 service intervals, small windscreen, little torque, sub par bash plate, sub par ergonomics for riding standing up... but it is a great light weight entry level adventure bike, at a great price... lots of power, light and nimble, low center of gravity, low seat height, good shocks, crash bars, great rider assistant tech for beginners. The bike will take you everywhere, and in some instances with greater ease in the slow technical bits than the larger mid level adv bikes. All it really needs is a better skid plate, better handguards, and some luggage
