Ducati Backpack - Ducati.ms

well I've lost a way to carry some goods around while riding on the road. My other backpack for college burned on the muffler of my old honda a while back. Now I'm searching for another backpack to carry my books in. I've seen 2 online so far, ones an expensive $250 backpack, and the others a Puma backpack for $70 bucks.

Are there any more options out there?

I know many will disagree, but I feel carrying a Ducati branded backpack is a little, well, douchy, for lack of a better term. Kind of like that guy who wears a Harley Davidson tie to a business meeting.

There are several companies that make bike specific bags with helmet holders and fake carbon fiber farkle. However, I use

this bag

to carry books and papers for work and school. It's really well built, a good size for daily commute, and covered in MOLLE attachments so it can be configured with a lot of accessories. (I added two water bottle holsters and camera pouch to mine.) Plus there are two velcro patches on the back where you can add a name tag, or even a Ducati badge if you like.

I'm a big fan of my Timbuk2. $35 off ebay. If you're really so motivated, you can get it custom made in tricolore livery. There are other bike messenger bag companies that make good stuff, too: Chrome, Baileyworks, etc.

This is on sale at Motostrano:
Ogio No Drag Backpack in stock at Motostrano.com

looks interesting. I use a Trek backpak for flexibility and load carrying capacity, plus it has a hydration pocket and built in rain cover as well as all kinds of pockets for pens, pencils, phone, USB's, etc.

I bought one of these last year, in part b/c Ogio has a lifetime warranty, covering materials and workmanship. It does not hold very much and has significant venting into the interior (why?) Not very weather resistant. I give it a "Fair" rating...

Look outside of the specific motorcycling offerings before purchasing.

i just went with kriega. it's very well designed/constructed and made specifically for motorcycling.

I use this one on daily bases, love it! It's a TUV certified back protector and I had a chance to crash-test it couple weeks ago, my laptop survived without a scratch.

Downside is the small volume, but all I carry is a laptop, few samples and sometimes lunch.

Also pricey, I bought my first one for $150 or so and when it got stolen insurance replaced it, might have been $200 then, but a $300 for the top model I'd think twice

I've used a Northface for years without an issue. You can get certain models fairly cheap as well.

that would look great with the GT750!

and no I'm looking for a ducati backpack. Im considering going with the $70 one, it seems basic for now. Weather is not an issue, I refuse to take my bike out in the rain. but drag could be an issue if im taking it on trips. I will just have to use what I can get now. If anyone knows any more Ducati backpacks out there let me know
