C'mon, now! You can search better'n that! ;)

From the Bin 'O Facts:

Sidecases

Capacity (each): 30 liters according to European website references.

29.2 liters +/-1 liter according to Ignacio measurement.

Or, using the BikerGeek measurement, roughly 20 bottles of beer. Each. :yahoo:

Here is another max capacity for the side cases. MsNASCAR and I were able to fit a case of wine in the side cases, 6 on each side. The people at Navarro Winery were kind enough to wrap each bottle in bubble wrap for us first. Then we had the joys of riding down hwy 128 to 101 south to home, when we lived in Santa Rosa.

 
I'd defer to the 30 litres, but I know that it is slightly less than my missus can put in the soft bag. :glare:

 
For the lowly can drinkers out there...

An 18-pack of cans (still in carton) lying flat will just squeeze into each case (kinda like this <->). There's still enough room above and below it for an adequate amount of ice.

And you can rip the corner open if you need one quick without disturbing everything. :D

Cans are highly recommended over bottles for spirited riding due to there lighter weight. :lol:

 
Cans?!?!

So...hold on a second: Isn't 30 l X 2 about the same as the side case capacity of the new Super Tenere? WBill
