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

    Check out the bazzilion differenty types of saddle bags for bikes. There are bound to be some that will fit yours. Or… they make tank bags for sport bikes, as well.

    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 ).

    Use “bungee cords” to tie it to the passenger seat.

    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.
