There are different types of motorcycle bags available in the market today. Several things determine the choice of the kind of bag you need for your bike. Will you use your bag for only long trips? Will the pack be on the motorcycle all the time? Will you carry a passenger with you or will you be traveling alone? The answers to above questions will help you know the right kind of bag you need for your bike.

Whether you are going for a short or long trip, it is true that you need one of the types available. First, there are the hard bags, which have fiberglass or tough molded plastics. Other hard bags are made of aluminum or even stainless steel, and they are very spacious. These bags are secure, convenient and waterproof. Next, we have the soft bags. These bags have strong synthetic fibers.

Soft bags require mounting brackets when installing them on the bike. The bags are –at best- water resistant. They are easy to pack, convenient and cheaper than hard bags. Lastly, we have leather bags. These bags, as the name suggests are made of waterproof leather. Leather motorcycle bags come in a wide variety of designs. They are affordable too and very fashionable.
