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.

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 ).
