I am looking to travel with a roll bag, and thought I should put a tan one on my Dragon Red 250 GTS aws it has a tan seat. Any ideas if either of these are actually tan or more orange/brown as they appear in the pix.

I would like to keep the "Euro" look/feel the scoot has now.

I am not totally opposed to black, but wanted to be a little different than the other motorocycle luggage you see going down the road.

Planning a 700-mile round trip next weekend...

My wife has both colors of the Prima bag. She switches them from time to time on her red GTS. The tan color does not look orange at all when you see it in person.

Does she have the large or small one... which actually looks better with the tan seat? ...and is she happy with the bag?

I had the Prima Large Black and it's an awesome bag.
Nice quality, and the snap that looks like typical buckles make it easy to open and close.

Plus I got it on sale at Scooterworks

My wife and I both have the tan SX top case. I'd say that the color in the photo on the Scooterwest site is accurate. As they fade over time I'll be curious to see how they look.

Both of her bags are large. At one time, she had an extra seat (tan color) but sold it and her stock black seat when she bought a black Corbin seat. The tan bag looks fine with either the black or tan seat but looks best with the tan colored seat. Our scooters are garaged so she has not experienced any sun fade. If you leave the scooter parked in the sun for long periods, it has been reported that you will experience sun fade on the fabric with either the Prima or the SX bags. The black will turn a purpleish color and I'm not sure what the color the tan will fade to. The Prima bag has lots of room and is actually more useful than a Vespa topcase but the topcase can be locked. I have a Vespa topcase on my GTV if hadn't been on the scooter when I bought it (used), I would have just put the other Prima bag on it that she wasn't using.

for what it's worth I have the red GTS with Tan seat. I have the black SX bag and over time (not too long) of having it in the sun it will fade to a wonderful light gray color that looks good.

The SX case comes with a rain cover, too.
