plenty of room
This tank bag has plenty of space, I can fit a spare shield, gloves, phone, wallet, everything for a day trip, without taking up a lot of space. It's just what I needed.

good bag
i thought the bag would be bigger when i first saw it (considering it's called an XL). but once it was on my bike i was glad it was the size it was. it's a good bag overall. i wish the little circle window in the pocket was a full square window. it would make it much easier to use an iphone gps while in that pocket. it's a nice bag to carry a few extra items or to take on a shorter trip if you don't want to load saddle bags. i'm happy with the bag overall.

Manta XL Tank Bag [Fits Ninja 500R]
I would say the bag was well worth the money, and is the same size as many of the other smaller tank bags on the market that cost in the $80.00 - $100.00 range. Joe Rocket has a winner here imho. Excellent bang for the buck. It also stores enough stuff for normal running around, but if you're going on any sort of trip, you'll need a Tailbag, Saddlebags, and/or a Backpack.

Nice for commuting
I use this bag every day for my ride to and from work. I got it so I wouldn't have to carry a backpack with me and it has worked out great. I do wish it had some more compartments on the inside to separate stuff but that is only a minor thing. I highly recommend it to anyone who use their bike for day to day commuting.

Awsome Bag
Bought this to use in place of a large tackle box (used to hold engineering equipment for school) fits everything I need. Smaller than it seems in picture but works for me. Awesome bag. Would definitely recommend.

Exactly what I wanted
The bag fits perfectly on my Ninja 650, and sticks very well using four largish magnets in a diamond-pattern.
Overall it seems to be a tough bag. The zippers are sturdy and easy to operate. The underside is covered in a smoother fabric, presumably to minimize the potential for scratching the tank.
The compartments are well laid out and very useful. The rain cover lives in its own compartment and is easy to deploy.
The carrying handle is well situated, and the adjustable and removable shoulder strap works well, too.

Joe Rocket Manta XL tank bag
Just got back from a 3300 mile trip. I keep my XM radio and some other electronics in the bag. Also I kept some gloves and my camera and my credit card bills in it. Worked very good and I wasn't worried about all the rain we road in because of the protective cover that is sown right in the bag. Very handy indeed.

Nice bag
Already had the smaller version (which is a micro size bag) and this should be called a small (it is the size of most smaller bags) The fabric on the "buckle" guard starts to fuzz up right away, my only complaint. The magnets are very strong.

Joe Rocket-Manta XL Tank Bag
Quality made product from heavy material. Would have liked it to be about 25% larger. Holds to tank with strong covered magnets well and a safety lanyard is included. Overall very well pleased.

Love this bag
Mid range size is perfect for every day riding. Seems to be quality materials, has several pockets to separate small stuff. Compared to other brand bags this one seemed very well priced. Durability...not sure yet only had it out a few times since its winter. Have had the bag up to 90mph with no shifting or movement of the bag

Nice
Not large enough for textbooks. If you don't need a backpack size, this is a good bag.
I can carry a large sub sandwich and a 32 ounce Gatorade, with a phone, camera, and small towel. And some granola bars. The jacket is great but I got it 2 big my mistake but U guys are a very good store everything worked ok.

Maybe a bit bigger?
I like the look, design, and features of this bag. I keep thinking that it could be just a bit bigger, though. Fits well on my wife's '07 FZ6.

It works
Well, what can you say? It’s a bag; it fits the stuff I want it to fit because I looked at how big it was before buying it. Great for commuting and it beats a backpack for comfort. The magnets are extremely powerful and sometimes reach out and catch things while I'm carrying it around. I don't know about the rain cover it has but I'm sure it'll keep stuff dry.

Awesome Bag
This bag carries everything that I need. I can hit the gym on the way home as everything fits in this bag, including shoes, if you pack it correctly. The magnets work so well that when I get to the office, I attach the bag to a metal filing cabinet near me and it hangs all day. I highly recommend this bag.

Joe Rocket - Manta XL Tank Bag for 07 Yamaha R1
To simply put it...Great bag. Good size main pocket which can hold what you need for a small day trip (hero, snack, drink, etc...) and the smaller pocket is great for your EZ-Pass, cell phone, and keys. Very handy and I highly recommend.

Manta XL Tank Bag
Great item. The bag fits nicely on my Suzuki SV650 without making me feel cramped. I can fit a pair of size 9 Nike running shoes inside with my shorts, socks, shirt, bandana and a belt. My helmet bag and bungee net fit perfect in the CD player pouch and my iPod nano with armband, headphones, cell phone and wallet fit in the phone pouch. It does have a rain cover. The magnets hold the bag tight even at 100+MPH. There are 7 magnets total. Very happy with this purchase and Motorcycle Superstore's service.

Manta XL worth the money
The Manta XL provides enough space to be a good tank bag without being overly bulky. I was looking for something sleek, but the regular Manta was too small. I didn't want a big bulky bag, so this fits the bill. It would be nice if it had a small side pocket or two, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Nice bag, but no XL
I had read other reviews that talked about the size of this bag, and I agree, it is small. I can fit a pair of size 13 running shoes in it and that’s about it. Bag is nice, fits on the bike without a problem, and magnets hold it without a problem. I recommend this bag if you’re not looking for something large.

Good bag, but not XL
This is a well built bag. It fits my bike just fine and the magnets are good and strong. My only complaint about this bag is a lack of compartments and space. It is larger than the manta but it is not what I would consider XL. Mine only will hold some gym clothes or my rain suit. Like I said, good bag, but be sure it’s as large as you need.

Manta XL tank bag
This is a nice bag, good quality. Not as large as I expected, medium size. I had to return due to the front portion of my tank not being metal. This will not work with a 2007 Honda CBR600RR, wish it would have.

Manta XL
Medium sized bag with some nice features. On my ZX-14 only the rear half of the "gas tank" is metal. The front half is for the enormous air box which is covered with plastic. This is the reason I went with the Manta, all the back aft magnet hit the metal and single front magnet just over the fuel cap. The magnets work VERY well and I like the small front pocket for storing "license and registration please Sir."

Tankbag
Great bag, magnets work great. Only complaint would have to be the hook placements for a shoulder strap. Wish you could wear it like a back pack.

Nice bag. Just right for carrying a lunch, or maybe a pair of shorts and sandals. Low profile, fits securely to my '07 R1, great construction.

Manta XL Tank Bag
This bag is a must for carrying medium size items and quick runs to the store, you pick the store. (beer, food). The bag is roomy and it stays in place much better than I thought it would. IT STAYS IN PLACE. The magnets work great. The nice thing that I find is I can store it on the side of my Frig. when I'm not using it.
