Just did my first trip with the Great Basin and can definitely recommend. I love the versatility of it because I've got a couple of bikes and plan to own other bikes in the future. Although I did buy it primarily for my BMW G310 GS. The Baby GS is a funny, little bike--after some upgrades, it's been a great travel companion, but is really difficult to find good luggage solutions for. For such a little bike, it's exceptionally wide in the rear end with it's big, OEM grab rails/luggage rack. And I'm currently running the Rally Raid side racks, which add further to the width. The Great Basin still fits just fine--although will probably fit even better when I remove those racks. It takes some smarts and patience to get it mounted perfectly the first time, but once you figure it out, it's easy enough to get on and off quickly after that. It's bomber and rock solid. My first trip was about 600 miles of mixed surface and some freeway speeds. Held up just fine and stayed entirely in place.
