11. Conclusion

All the street-legal fastest bikes that are available in the market right now are in the sports bike category. Because the shape of sports bikes is designed in such a way that it reduces the drag force of the wind and their body works well with the aerodynamics as well. However, because they are sports bikes, so the company does not provide any kind of LUGGAGE BAGS, TANK BAGS, SADDLEBAGS, TAIL BAGS, or BACKPACKS with the motorcycle.


Therefore for these kinds of accessories riders bought them from the aftermarket WEBSITE STORES.
