So I purchased the Cortech Sport Tail Bag because I no longer wanted to carry a backpack every day with my work-issues laptop. I didn't want a dedicated laptop bag because I wanted to be able to use this for the occasional weekend trip as well. So far the bag has worked out perfectly! The bungee system allows it to go on and off my 2009 SV650S in seconds, and keeps the bag very secure. I've been using the bag every day-taking my laptop, power brick, network cable, spare face shield, and various other small items to work. I also got to use the bag on an extended day trip, and it held a video and still camera, face shield, jacket liner, a drink and some snacks, all with room to spare. The zippers all move very smoothly, the reinforced handle is very comfortable, and the bag overall feels very high quality. The included rain cover and shoulder strap are nice extras that I probably won't need, but it is great that they were included. About the only negative I can come up with for the bag is the lack of solid structure. It would be nice if it had a more solid base, because until you add things to the bag, the bungee cords have enough pull to squeeze the bag out of shape. It isn't a problem once the bag is full, so most people will probably never notice. I highly recommend this bag, and will probably get the matching saddle bags in the future.
