Motorcycle Tank Bag

One thing a lot of motorcycle and street bike riders worry about is where to keep their possessions while they ride. A motorcycle tank bag is a great option for quick day rides when you just want to store the bare necessities. BTO Sports has a wide variety of tank bags for motorcycles and street bikes for our customers to choose from, including contoured styles, magnetic models and ultra-small designs.

Motorcycle and street bike tank bags rest on top of the bike’s fuel tank; most are strapped down with bungee cords or safety straps, but magnetic motorcycle tank bag styles are available that grip the tank via magnetic flaps.

While they are designed to be incredibly compact, a good motorcycle tank bag can still store enough essential gear to get you from point A to point B (as long as your destination isn’t further than a day’s ride away). A map, a camera, water, your cell phone, an extra shield and cleaner for your helmet, sunscreen, and snacks – you’d be surprised how much stuff can fit into a motorcycle tank bag. Street bike and motorcycle tank bags are also incredibly handy for travelling to and from work. If you need more room however, BTO Sports also has a wide variety of larger motorcycle bags, including motorcycle saddlebags.

Due to its location on the bike, a motorcycle tank bag can take some getting used to and some of the larger versions aren’t sensible if you ride an aggressive sport bike where the riding position leans over the tank. If this is the case, BTO Sports suggests a motorcycle tail bag instead.

It’s important to note that most motorcycle and street bike tank bags need to be unhooked at fuel stops. It also should be noted that magnetic sensitive items should not be stored in the magnetic motorcycle tank bags.
