Budget Motorcycle Luggage Solution - Aliexpress Review + Test

[@dannyhampshire2825]

Great review and good to see the cheaper stuff has not every one can afford the high end prices Am liking what am watching

[@Boden2024]

Thanks Danny. I agree , some the bags seem a lot of money for what they are. I felt this ticked a lot of boxes and fit for purpose. Time will tell if it's going to last, but for that money it hasn't got to last too long to make it good value. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Loved how you got the cat to act like that !!! Great review as well!

[@Boden2024]

Hi Geni, the cat definitely likes to get involved. Thanks for watching and commenting, it really is appreciated.

Pretty good video in my opinion! Good luck with your new channel, I'll be watching. Love from fellow biker based in Leeds x

[@Beginner2BadassBiker]

Thank you. Glad you like the channel and will be watching. 👍 let us know if there is anything you want us to cover 👍

[@ozzyprogdomino8815]

The bag looks good value. The cat stole the show though.

[@Beginner2BadassBiker]

@@ozzyprogdomino8815 Bo is happy with the bag. Will be telling how long it lasts. Tilly usually steals the show 🤣😂

Excellent review well done Sir. I bought a 3 set of Enduristan (Lydon Poskitt) and I can tell you no where near as well featured and designed as this bag at 10x the price!!

[@Boden2024]

Hi Gary, thanks for watching and commenting. I know some things are " you get what you pay for" but I do also feel there are genuine bargains to be had. When you get something this cheap offering so much it only has to last a year or so and it's good value. So far so good, but I guess time will tell how good it really is.... maybe I should do another review after a few trips. Safe riding mate

[@KnightRider1157]

I'd recommend from personal experience Lomo based in Scotland . First class and inexpensive. Good review though 👍🏻

[@Boden2024]

Thanks mate, and thanks for commenting. I will check out Lomo. 👍

[@Boden2024]

@@KnightRider1157 I just had a look at Lomo... they look decent and not mega expensive, thanks for the recommendation mate.

Good review , I’ve been buying stuff of Aliexpress for about 10 years now , mainly diy electronics stuff most stuff has been good , some stuff is obviously best avoided , only been bitten a couple of times . I’d be very interested in how this kit fairs after say 6 months . At that price if it wears out you haven’t lost much , my worry would be catastrophic failure while riding , though hopefully your rock straps ? Would contain that . Cheers 😃🍻

[@anthonybatchelor3568]

Excellent review! I’m looking for just that type of bag for my GS. Many thanks this has helped a lot.

[@Boden2024]

Glad you liked it. I've been pleased with it so far. The straps fit snug on the GS where I have attached them. Thanks for watching. Safe riding mate.

[@nzrodders]

i've had one of those bags for a couple of years and its stayed dry and is still in good shape. My only concern was the four extra straps that attach to the bike, the straps frayed through after a 3,600 km trip. I Roc strap like you do. Highly recommend this bag and Aliexpress is great to deal with.

[@Boden2024]

Thanks for the message. That's encouraging that it's lasted a couple of years. Do you use it regularly? I feel the Rok straps really do give the assurance, and for the price if the straps supplied eventually fail could always buy a brand new bag and get extra straps. Use the older bag for other purposes. Thanks again for commenting and watching the videos, it really is appreciated.

[@nzrodders]

@@Boden2024 I’ve done half a dozen motorbike trips plus I use the bag as my checked in luggage when I fly international. If it can survive on the back of a 150cc Honda out in the back roads of Vietnam, it’ll go most other places with no problem.

[@Boden2024]

@nzrodders that is definitely a good test, bags at airports tend to get abused, so the fact its still ok after that is positive. Vietnam on the bike must have been fun. Thanks for commenting and watching the channel mate.

[@KidCurry666]

Nice one, bargain of the month, like you say branded ones are substantially more money. Great vid thanks for posting, from a fellow Brummie ? 👍

[@Boden2024]

Cheers mate, yeah, from Birmingham too. You could tell the accent then ? 😂. Pleased with the bag so far, time will tell how it holds out 👍 Thanks for commenting.

[@gillianbrodie6807]

Thanks for the video. 😃👍 I was just wondering why you didn't pass the diagonal straps through the handle. Did you also get those mesh seat covers from Ali Express? Good luck with the channel. 😃🤗

[@Boden2024]

Thanks for the comment, you are correct, should have passed the rok straps through the handles, when we travelled to Scotland recently I added a rucksack to the main bag and went through the handles. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel , Jess does a great job. 👍 safe riding mate

[@gillianbrodie6807]

And you. What about the seat covers? 😀

[@Boden2024]

​@gillianbrodie6807 hi , I bought the Cool Covers from someone off marketplace. They are great, definitely recommend them

[@Swarbrick129]

Bag looks good good review from all 😂😂

[@Boden2024]

Thank you, it's my first review so learning and sharing my thoughts and experiences. Hope it was useful. You got a bike ? What luggage do you currently use ?

[@Swarbrick129]

@@Boden2024 have bmw gs with vario panniers with iner bags for quick removal and my triumph tiger just has panniers with throw in dry bags and my tent and sleeping gear goes in a Lidl water proof bag

[@Boden2024]

@Swarbrick129 thanks mate, appreciated. The cat was the real star of the show.

[@Boden2024]

​@@Swarbrick129. What's your thoughts on the Vario luggage ?

[@Swarbrick129]

@@Boden2024 well I wouldn’t buy them again because they simply aren’t big enough would definitely go for the toura tech boxes which are very much bigger even for just me riding around the top of Scotland you need to carry quite a bit but if you do b&b or hotel you don’t need as much but it then get very expensive very quickly it’s rather sad that we can’t fly abroad for half the price to travel in our country but we are taxed to the max and if this pay per mile comes into force it will kill the travel industry and possibly the economy

[@nickexarheas2880]

A £25K bike and a £25 luggage system?

[@Boden2024]

@nickexarheas2880 I know, when you put it like that it does sound mad , and ideally I would have one of the top brands, but I wanted to see what the budget solution was like first. I also recognise that some people may not be able to afford an expensive solution, so wanted to share my findings. I am genuinely impressed with it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
