Motorcycle tank bags pretty much come under the essential section if you’re anything more than a very casual rider.
As with most things motorcycling there is a huge range of Motorcycle tank bags on the market from little ones that carry a mobile phone and a packet of fags up to stackable units which can make it hard to see the road ahead let alone your clocks.
Work out in your own mind what you want to use the Motorcycle tank bag for and then see what’s out there to suit your needs. If you’re planning on doing even the slightest bit of travelling then a model featuring a map pocket should be at the top of your list. If you want to carry a packed lunch and some basic waterproofs then look for a motorcycle tank bag with the right capacity and go from there. A twenty pound cheapie motorcycle tank bag will probably last a couple of years with regular use whilst the Oxford lifetime range will take many years of abuse. Most motorcycle tank bags are made of waterproof material but zips can leak so any reliable manufacturer will include a waterproof cover to affix if that sudden shower turns into a long distance downpour.
Modern motorbikes are increasingly using plastic and aluminium in their construction which means the classic magnet design is obsolete on these machines. There are a number of velcro motorcycle tank bags on the market to overcome this problem.
