Just looking for suggestions/feedback for my CBR900RR-R

Looking for either a backpack or a tailpack 90% of the usage will be back and forward to work/gym/swimming so needs to be able to take a big 15" laptop.

I would prefer something off my back however if it was a tailpack would need to be easy on / off cant be arsed with the fafin about.

Or is there an option that will as a backpack then have fitting to place as a tailpack?

Willing to spend around £130 or so but cheaper the better

KRIEGA R30... Need I say More

Waterproof and very comfortable on the bike AND off the bike. I use it for weekend trips on the bike, or whenever I go to France for work for a couple of days.

Kriega anything it seems. I've got an r35 and it's the best rucksack I've had. Little large for everyday use so looking at getting an r20 or similar for day to day use. Then adding a us-10 for longer trips Smile Really good gear.

ad another Kreiga vote, they are genuinely waterproof too, which is rare.
