SW-Motech Pro Blaze Saddlebags, Tail Bag, and Tank Bag on a BMW S 1000 XR.

In Rider?s February issue, we shared the results of a survey that offered a fascinating deep dive into our readers? habits and preferences. One telling statistic was that three-quarters of our readers ? yep, we?re looking at you ? ride their motorcycles at least 3,000 miles per year, with nearly half of those polled saying they travel at least double that. Along these lines, the top three most popular types of motorcycles our readers own are touring, sport-touring, and adventure bikes. Ergo, we created this motorcycle luggage buyers guide.

With the riding season kicking into high gear, many of you are thinking about your next motorcycle trip. Maybe it will be on paved roads, or maybe you?ll be tackling rougher terrain. Regardless, if you?re already planning your next overnight ? or longer ? excursion, or even if you?re fortunate enough to be able to drop everything at the last minute and take off for a weekend getaway, how much you can pack and how you will carry it is an important consideration.
With that in mind, this luggage buyers guide provides a variety of great options, from tank bags to panniers to top boxes, to help you take what you need on your next adventure.
