Appreciate the input, but I disagree! It's easier to strap things to a bike and park for free while avoiding the metropolis traffic.

Practice amp that fits on a motorcycle recommendations

I would love to scoop one of those up, but for €580 new it's not even an option.
Oh, you’re not driving with the autos and trucks then? I wouldn’t want to load up with gear on a bike and then ride along with vehicles.
She is a 77 R100S pushing 300K, The faring and bags are quick release Luftmiester of that era. I have only had her for the last 25 years, she had 80K on her when I bought her.
And no it is not the ultra rare Daytona Orange, it is a just faded red. I had a guy try to buy my fender and tank for 2k.
I used to carry my wife on my trail bike with a guitar sandwiched between us. An amp should be a lot easier than a guitar if you have a carry rack. How do you carry the guitar?
Ha! Wow that is great, recently purchased with an authentic roadworn look. 300k, incredible!
I drove with my buddy from southeastern PA to the BMW MOA rally in the twin cities a few years back, was great seeing all these guys and their airheads, and all the silly ADV guys standing up while riding their GSs on tarmac. Overall a great experience, we rode back through Canada along lake superior, unforgettable experience.
I carry the guitar on my back with a mono vertigo case (not comfy over 40mph), or I have a cheap semi-rigid case that I strap to the back or the side of the bike, where a saddlebag would usually go. Both methods with great success in city riding.
Man, love the pics of the bikes!
I don't know if this is out of your price range, but have you looked at the Barefaced cabs? The 1*10 is a little smaller than the Rumble 40, and it's super easy to carry around. That, and a TE Elf, or any number of the micro heads (fits in a gig bag) makes a superb small rig. I strap mine to a bicycle and have little issue hauling it around town.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

I'd love a Barefaced one10! Since the UK quit the EU it's tougher to buy stuff from the British isle, haven't seen used ones on the 'continent' in the last few weeks of searching.
Thanks for nothing, it's out of stock.
I'm amazed they sell trailers on amazon, how do they even deliver them?!

"Some assembly required..." I think...
Unless the piano player is using a concert grand, and attacks it like Bugs Bunny dueling Daffy Duck, the little practice amp I use in my living room might work for you. It's a Blackstar Fly 1w bass mini amp. Will it fit on your bike? Hell, it would get lost in a saddle bag; never mind that tail trunk. Size? 16.5 cm. wide x 12.1 cm. tall x 10.2 cm. deep. Weight? I'd be shocked if it weighs more than 1 Kg - with batteries (if you don't want to use the power adapter). I warn you, though; it's probably out of it's depth as any thing but a practice amp. But, what it does, it does pretty well...
I rode 110km with my Orange Crush Bass 25 strapped to the back of my Yamaha V Star 650. I barely knew it was there, but I do have a luggage rack to tie it down to.
Also, I'm new at basses. I have no idea how well the little Orange can keep up with anything. I've not even had it up to half volume yet, and I only play in my bedroom.

The mb110 is a fantastic amp. It’s one of my fave sounding amps. I have gk 112 and 212 combos as well they are great and loud but the 110 is the best sounding of the lot IMO.
I'm an old skool Canadian. We hauled 24 packs of beer on the handlebars of our 10 speed bicycles through the woods. Anyways, I just picked up a Fender Bassman 100 with the 10 inch Eminence for 150CA. 25lbs, small and sounds great!
I was also thinking ELF. I played a head in a store and was impressed with the sound. And it's so tiny...
My first thought when I saw the bike was how hard would it be to take the middle box off. You could lay down a combo with its long axis parallel to the scooter centerline and dog it to the trunk rack and frame below the seat. If overhang on the sides was problematic, some form of outrigger mounted fast to the trunk rack would reduce the hassle factor for single handed loading and unloading, especially in the white zone.
I’ve got a rumble 500 and it weighs less than 35 pounds so I’m guessing a 100 to be around 20 pounds, which should be no real issue due to weight
