Kriega R25/35 user advice req'd!

Now the weather is starting to get better (for now anyway!) I want to take the bike to the gym rather than using the car.

I'm debating whether to go for an R25 or R35. Can anyone that has the R25 advise on if it can take trainers, trousers/shorts, t/shirt, towel and a few other bits in? I have got an R20 and it can't take it all and don't want to make the mistake of getting one too small.

I know the 35 will be able to but am worried it may be a bit bulky when I haven't got as much in.

Thanks for any help.

have a read of this mate,might be of some help and the reason i sold mine and am now back to using the R25.some people get on with it some dont,me being one of them.

I got an entire kit's worth of stuff in mine for a weekend in Wales. Towel, spare clothes, shower stuff, visors/visor clean and shoes.

I also get a fair bit of crap in it for track days. I reckon 25 should comfortably do it...

I used a 25 for a weeks holiday, it should be fine for a trip to the gym.

Cheers guys, thanks svdev for the link. Looks like it will be a 25 then - prefer the look of it and the harness too.

Just got a R3 waistpack and it's great for taking visor cleaner, wallet, phone etc. in.

I'm 5' 8" tall (short) and have a R35... it's fine. I've worn it fully loaded on my GSXR1000, both my SV650s, my Daytona 955i, the Versys and a few other bikes with no problems.

My only gripe , and I mean only gripe about my R35 is that with me being largely built , I have just about managed to get the straps to the right length which brought the chest panel a bit close to my throat . Other than that I have had it loaded up with all manner of things , been away with a weeks worth of kit in it , it holds a stupid amount of gear , has never leaked , and has done about 40,000 miles in my ownership and was used almost daily . It has done more Tescos trips and has been overfilled than I care to remember , was never uncomfortable and still looks quite fresh .... and I am an abuser of kit , but in the same breathe I only buy kit that can take the pace . So , without hesitation , buy one
