More bikers than ever are using their machines to commute to work, or go touring, even if the motorcycle they own is a sportbike or an all-rounder. Riders who need extra carrying capacity, but don't want to fit a hard luggage kit, will find all the versatility and space they need in the 2008 Kappa soft luggage range.
The TK724 tank bag is especially designed for sportbike owners, being compact, convertible into a rucksack off the bike and fitted with magnets and straps for a secure fit at speed. There's also a map pocket, rain hood and the TK724's unique design allows a rider leaning forwards to `brace' themselves partially on the front section, for extra comfort when riding on longer journeys.
Do you need to thread your way through gridlocked streets every week? Then the Kappa TK734 is the bag for you. Designed with an angled Sat Nav pocket, to make urban navigation that bit easier, this mini tank bag has just enough room to safely carry everyday essentials like your phone, notebook style laptop, cables etc. It's also expandable to an 8 litre capacity, easy to carry off the bike and features a rain cover for the worst of the British weather.
Those with an all-rounder, or sports-tourer type of machine may well find the Kappa TK733 offers a truly versatile range of carrying options. The upper section of the bag is expandable, the lower section features magnets and fastening straps, plus the TK733 has a map pocket, rain cover and 29 litres of space for those full-on trips to Europe, or beyond. The TK733's entire top section zips off should the rider just need a more basic bag and the lower section is convertible to a rucksack for everyday commuting. There are matching throwover panniers available for the TK733 tank bag too.
Sportbike riders who don't want to fit a rack and hard cases know a good set of soft, throwover style panniers are the ideal solution when planning a weekend to Assen, Le Mans or the Nurburgring. The Kappa TK731 throwovers feature a versatile 17-30 litre total capacity, with expandable sections, a tough waterproof cover built-in to each pannier and a thermal drink/food compartment. The panniers are designed to look good and form part of a stylish luggage set with the matching TK733 tank bag.
Kappa have not forgotten the scooter rider and the TK 725 soft tunnel bag is ideal for round town and is used on the central tunnel with fitting system and adjustable Velcro straps supplied. It has a capacity of 22.5 litre and is equipped with shoulder belt or carry handle for easy transportation.
The TK 726 Soft top case is ideal for any business trip and is a semi rigid trolley case with built in plate for mounting on the Monokey and Monolock fixing systems. Finished in imitation leather and nylon it has a frontal pocked divided into small compartments – cable holder, CD holder, pen holder and central compartment for a pc bag – and it is also equipped with a separate pc bag which slips onto the trolley handle. A rain cover is also available.
The Kappa TK723 rucksack offers practical and safe carrying capacity to any rider on the move. It features an anatomic, spine-protecting base section, and a semi circular zip design for rapid access. Inside, there's 15 litres of space and a detachable inner helmet bag, which can be fixed to the bottom of the rucksack, so you can carry your lid with ease when not riding. The Kappa TK723 has adjustable shoulder straps and a central waistband, giving you a comfortable fit every time you buzz through the city streets.
Many car drivers are fed up with rocketing fuel/parking costs and turning to two wheels. If you've just bought a scooter or motorcycle for the office commute, then you'll probably need to safely transport a laptop, cables, phone, chargers etc. Well, the Kappa TK719 rucksack is designed with you in mind.
Featuring a designated laptop pocket, several inner storage compartments and padded areas to resist damaging blows or knocks, the TK719 is tough, durable and practical. It also fastens onto a motorcycle fuel tank via a suction type tank pad, available as a separate accessory. The TK719 rucksack is really easy to carry once off the bike, plus there's a built-in rain hood.
Got a few `bits and bobs' to drop off in town? Then the Kappa TK730 shoulder bag is the perfect travel companion for the busy person. The compact bag can be worn around the waist, or on the shoulder and has a three litre capacity, several inner pockets and an outer section designed especially to carry an MP3 player, with a handy port for your cable to run through. Waterproof and practical, the TK730 is a great alternative to stuffing your jacket pockets full of various items - and a whole lot safer.
Whether you're a biker, or a scooter rider, everyone enjoys listening to some music as part of their leisure or commuting time.
