I have a very similar set up touring. Use an 'Overboard ' roll top bag secured with Rok Straps. Used the bag to carry spare riding gear, changed into fully vented gear in the south of France.
Hi graham, never needed underwear strap. Use the two over straps and it’s tmrock steady, under seat strap to me is just another strap that may rub on plastic or seat
Won’t be doing a Europe trip with all this Covid situation atm and further localised lockdowns springing up everywhere. Will be heading for this weekend to Netherlands and videos to follow. Scotland trip in end Aug, early sept coming.
Hi Pete, no but would be handy for tent ⛺️ but if you look in the thumb nail pic my blue bagged tent fits nicely on top of the oxford. Don’t camp that often now though
Ok I was just thinking about space, I have Givi luggage on my Bandit 1250 and my Versys 1000 and have considered installing a rack on the top. Do you have LED lights on your top box? @@MOTOUK1
Presumably, when you're touring you to occasionally leave the bike unattended. Do you lock the bag to the bike in anyway and can you lock the zips to keep your possessions secure? Also, is there a reason you don't use the kriega bags now? Thanks guys the really informative and clear video.
Hi Zork, so when touring and stopping somewhere it’s usually to have lunch and tbh I park the bike where I can see it as close to me so no issues. You can buy metal nets that can lock bags on like a metal cargo net. Never used one though. Kriega while brilliant bags I prefer roll top as easier access and everything in one bag. When I get to my hotel I just remove two straps and carry bag in to hotel. I can fit all my clothes and camera gear, iPad in this 30lt oxford aqua
@@MOTOUK1 I've done the same in the past. I usually put a bicycle cable lock through the bag's 'loops' and around the rack and travel padlocks on the zipper's pull tabs to stop opportunist theft. I tried using a pacsafe mesh but the metal chipped the paintwork and i kept catching my boot in the mesh. I even managed a spectacular nose dive at the top of the Passo Del Stelvio pulling my aprilia falco over with me. Not big, not clever, not fun.
What is the actual width of the bag across the bike. I am doing a tour again this year over 34 days. I may need the 50lt. You mentioned that you also had used a 50lt, do you know the with of that across the saddle?
Hows all that lot when it comes to throwing your leg over the bike? I took mine away this year with a large tail bag and at 6ft3 still managed to scuff my boot over the comfort seat a couple of times marking it :(
Nice review, you mentioned your straps under your seat were off your old kriega bags. Any reason why you changed to the Oxford? I've been looking at both.
So I still use my kriega it’s just I used the loops from the kriega bags under the seat to loop through the Oxford bag straps. I tend to only uae my kriega 10lt now and if touring the Oxford roll top bag is one piece and easy accessible
@@MOTOUK1 I was actually thinking the same of getting a smaller 10L or something, most day trips that's enough and can swap for the bigger one when touring 👍
Hello my friend. I have been driving tracer900 for 3 years. I do several day tours in between. I wonder if I can drive with the same comfort as mt10? Would the wind condition be the same as tracer ?
Hi Mehmet, I came from tracer to the 10, no complaints. Seat comfort better on 10, on wind depends what are you running screen on tracer currently and how tall are you? Love my 10 and better than the tracer
@@MOTOUK1 Thank you for your interest. I'm using givi D2122 on my bike. it's not very long. I find enough. my height is 1.77cm. finally how does fuel economy compare to tracer?
So you won’t get the protection like you do with the givi screen, but the touring screen from Yamaha does an ok job and your shorter than me as I am 6’2 so you should be better on protection than me. Fuel economy mmmm so its an R1 engine so expect fuel light on when riding easy at approx 115-120 miles the reserve will get you 20 miles. On my tracer I could get a lot more. But the grin factor of riding the 10 😃
Hi, thank you for a great video. I have a MT10 SP also and am also shying away from side panniers. Can you tell me (please) where I can get those small straps which fitted onto the frame bolts. The small straps which the main strap are routed through to "avoid damaging the paintwork"? I think you mentioned Kriega but can I order these separately or do they come with a Kriega luggage set of some kind? Thanks again
Not too bad really, I would generally fill up around 140 miles, as once took the bike to 178 miles but that was to empty and took all 17 litres to fill up
I’ve been watching your channel for a while with your Scotland trip you have been doing ... I have my Scotland tour on my little 390 at the start of may so getting into that touring mood , I have my touring setup on my channel if you are interested 👍🏼
Thanks Igor, I normally get 40mpg take a look at the “how many miles to a tank video in my list where I actually run out on purpose to get the real truth of how far you can go riding mixed
Maybe I missed it but I've had a look at a few videos and can't figure out what screen you are using? I've just picked up an MT 10 and can't decide which screen to go with
@@MOTOUK1 Brilliant thanks for your help, I'm 5'11 so hopefully it's a little better for me. Can't find that screen anywhere online so will have a chat with a few dealers and see what they can do. If you don't mind me asking, how much was it?
@@Ze-Germanzuk you might have gotten sorted by now , but I bought and fitted the Givi screen D2129S onto my MT10 SP and it work perfectly and looks great too.
I have a very similar set up touring. Use an 'Overboard ' roll top bag secured with Rok Straps. Used the bag to carry spare riding gear, changed into fully vented gear in the south of France.
For a person that doesn’t like panniers that a nice clean alternative setup.
Hope your getting some warmer weather Josh ready for the riding season to start👍🏍
Soon. Started doing the spring maintenance. Still have about 1/2 meter of snow on the ground here but the days are warming up
Great video on the dry bag just what I was looking for thank you
Great Dave glad it helped
I'm thinking of getting the aqua bag for my Honda. Many thanks for the helpful video 👌
Great Kurt 👍 good bags
Thank you for the post.
The blurb for these bags makes a big thing about the undersea strap. You didn't mention it or use it.
Any reason why.
Hi graham, never needed underwear strap. Use the two over straps and it’s tmrock steady, under seat strap to me is just another strap that may rub on plastic or seat
This is exactly what my mt needs to look like. Thank you for the ideas!
Happy to be of help 👍
Excellent video . Didn't have a clue using them d straps
Thanks Sam, straps work excellent 👍
A video of you going away for a week in Europe would be good
Won’t be doing a Europe trip with all this Covid situation atm and further localised lockdowns springing up everywhere. Will be heading for this weekend to Netherlands and videos to follow. Scotland trip in end Aug, early sept coming.
Also check in back catalogue as we did Germany, Switzerland was a blast👍🙏
Great video, did you consider a rack on the top box to hold the bag
Hi Pete, no but would be handy for tent ⛺️ but if you look in the thumb nail pic my blue bagged tent fits nicely on top of the oxford. Don’t camp that often now though

Hi only used the 30lt, but the 50lt Oxford aqua is Approx size when filled:
• 35cm (H) x 60cm (W) x 34cm (D)
60cm is ok 👍
Thanks.
Your welcome 🙏

Not had any issues 👍
😂 I also look at my seat and see a mark, same from boot throwing my leg over
Hey. Thanks for video. Wondering how the winds blast
is with the screen?
I have the Yamaha touring screen too, tbh both same does an ok job

The s1000xr makes more sense. 160 hp. More comfort and faster. 100km / 5.5-6 liters. how do you think s1000x is

Yes head over to kriega website accessories you can buy them there 👍
How did you find the MT10 on fuel for your touring ?

I am 6’2 and still get some turbulence round helmet but no pressure on chest and I have been touring a bit on it.

Givi are great screens for sure👍
I never put wallet/money in bags or boxes on the bike, bike gets stolen, money goes too.
My wallet is normally in my pocket, I never leave the bike with anything of value in it 👍🏍
