Touring Luggage for 125's

[Duke125]

Hi all,
Basically a few friends and I are going away for 7-10 days and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what luggage I can use, I have a KTM Duke 125, and currently have a Moto-Detail City 2 tankbag. I was looking for either some soft panniers or a tail bag (or both) that could be strapped down to the duke.... as for price, either end doesn't really matter to me providing said item(s) work! Also if anyone could give any tips on securing the bags as the duke only really has to two grab rails to do so.... Much appreciated!!

My mate has a TZR 50 and a Mito 125.

He just uses some Oxford Throw-over panniers. Not sure on the model, he got them for £30 at the bike show at the NEC in November or whenever it was.

They seem all-right. No complaints so far, but he doesn't use them a lot, the first proper test will be in the summer when we are going to go a-splorin.

I'm going to hunt something similar down for mine as well. WIth enough imagination, anything will work. I used push-bike panniers and about 5 bungee chords when Mum sent me shopping on my bike once, god knows why.

Oxford throw overs will be fine but don't rellie on the rain covers pack in bin bags or carriers. Or get some Dry Bags from Go Outdoors and strap down to pillion seat or rear rack. Are you camping?

Your friends panniers sound like the Oxford first time panniers available from £40 (ish)-£65

I've a set for my 125.

The first time range is directed at 125cc sized bikes. They are a little shorter than standard panniers so they won't overhang your indicators.

The panniers can expand to a capacity of 48 litres. From memory they are 32 litres non expanded.

Here's a pic of my full set up including a tent....

EDIT LINE....Incase anyone is wondering. That's a buffalo getaway tail bag, RRP £40 again from memory about 25-30 litre capacity. I was lucky enough to pick it up half price.
