How does one carry extra gear on a motorcycle?

Question

I have a ninja 250R sport bike, but I sometimes need to carry things that won't fit in my backpack.

Answer 1

Use "bungee cords" to tie it to the passenger seat.

Answer 2

I would say saddle bags, but you have a sport bike and that would look stupid.  They do make magnetic tank bags in a good range of sizes.

Answer 3

Get either some sidebags or a tank bag.  Check out motorcycle stores online or in your area.

The other option of course is to bring a second bag with your backpack and tie it down securely on the back half of the seat ( assuming you're not carrying a passenger ).

Answer 4

Saddlebags -- usually have straps that run over or under your passenger seat.

Tailbags -- strap to the passenger part of the seat

Tankbags -- strap or have magnets (steel tank only) that hold it in place.

Answer 5
