I have the Icon Primer tank bag , holds more than you think it would and can be used as a back pack too .

If you are looking for something unobtrusive, there's a tail bag for the RR's called FastPack that goes right over the rear seat. Review and pics here: http://www.2wf.com/content/view/1675/45/

I just bought one for the 600RR, and it fits and looks great. You can easily get a 6-pack with room to spare. What you can't do (or shouldn't) is sit on it as the straps aren't designed to take a lot of lateral motion from an adult sliding the seat around.

IP has them for $73. They're a little pricey, but I didn't want a buttload of straps all around and a undertail exhaust made it that much harder.

Note: you have the split seat.. not I sire. But i do really like the way it looks compressed..

I'm really just looking for something to hold some phones, smokes and whatever else I can pull out of my pockets.. I wanna keep it sleek.

Riiight, I forgot you had the sofa. :)

In that case, a smallish tank bag might be the way to go. It doesn't screw with the curve of the bike that much, having a big honkin thing on the tail would be worse IMO than a little something on the tank, especially when you are riding you're over it anyway.

I may just say screw it and settle with a low drag back pack..

In that case, I would steer you away from the Icon Squad II. I loved that pack when I had it, it held everything beautifully, but the stitching separated in the front right under the rubber ICONMOTO badge exposing the contents to the outside. I looked at others and it all looks like they would do the same thing. Ended up taking it back to Iron Pony for a warranty fix, and they ended up giving me store credit.

Kreiga backpacks seem to be very highly reviewed on 600rr.net. I haven't actually seen one in person, and they are a little spicy at $105 - $185, but some of them have the same shoulder strap system as the Squad II.

In the end, it all comes down to your body type, how they fit on you, and how much you want to carry.
