Default GIVI top case on a crotch rocket?

Well, I love my 954RR for touring and the soft Nelson-Rigg luggage is adequate for long rides, but I really wish I had hard luggage – for only one reason:

There are times when I would like to park my bike and leave my luggage on the bike knowing it’s secured, so I can go and eat, walk around and do touristy things, go hiking. I’m always nervous that when my bike is out of sight, someone could be going though my luggage and stealing my stuff. The tank bag I take with ‘casue it has a shoulder strap but I can’t take all the items of value with me, they won’t all fit in to the tank bag.

I was thinking about it last year but dismissed it, thinking the 954RR would look funny with the GIVI top case, but I'm thinking of maybe getting one now, it's just more practical.

GIVI does make a top case rack for the 954RR (shown below) I would get a smaller top case though.
