Default Best Tank Bag for Honda CBR250R

I have a 2012 Honda CBR250R, I have been looking at tank bags online and to be honest I am afraid to buy one because I don't know which one will fit the tank.
I have been looking at the Joe Rocket manta and HammerHead regular and the xl. I want it to be big enough but not look stupid. Can someone give me advice on what would be a great tank bag for my cbr250r. Thanks

I have a Cortech 10litre bag on my CBR . Looks good on the bike and fits the tank well, has alot of good features and separate compartments for glasses and garage opener. Looks very well made to me.

I have the Icon Urban tank bag. It fits my cbr250 perfectly. It also fits my FZ6 but not quite as well. it sticks to the tank with magnets so I arrive at my destination and go. It also converts to a backpack. I mostly use it for work. I'm a teacher so I usually put a text book, papers to grade, lunch and shoes. Plus a bunch of misc. stuff in the side compartments. I've also used it for groceries and other stuff.

I have a Cortech. I think it's an 8 L but I forget. I like it a lot. One main pocket with red velvety lining, a map pocket on top, a small pocket in front, a rain cover, and some more pockets inside the main. It also has a retroreflective stripe, very strong magnets, and a leash. Expensive (~$80) but definitely quality. You can see it in my avatar pic.

I can give another vote of confidence on the Cortech. I've the 10 liter and it's a perfect size. It doesn't get in the way, even if you have to tuck in a bit while dealing with wind gusts.

I have a "Road-pak" tank bag. I really like it !! Has a clear pocket for cell phone on the top and is expandable !! Can pack a lot into it.
I also have a "road-pak" tail bag.....that I sometimes use as a tank bag. Is way larger so only use it on trips !!!
I had "road-pak" saddlebags on my CBR125r. They were great...just the right size and "hung" well on the bike. Didn't fit too well on the CBR250r though.....without fooling around lots to get them to sit right !! But I sold them with my 125 when I sold it !!
I now have a "Ventrua" luggage system on my CBR250r !! Great Product !! I love it...especially on trips !!! Sorry off topic !!! LOL

Shoot, they'll about all fit - I use the absurd two-layer Fieldsheer Eiffel tankbag set for long touring. Holds more than some saddlebags.

The Joe rocket Manta fits perfectly on the 250. quite small by most standards but the CBR250R is no Boss Hoss BHC-3 ZZ4 Small Block (google it).
