Am I the only one that thinks the colour scheme is not so err pleasing on the eye?

You're not going to get such a radical colour scheme as that and expect it to please everybody!
I like it fwiw
It's a good reason to choose the Dainese over the A'Ness - plain black not introducing another colour (even white) into the mix.
Just don't tell Lozzo you're buying Dainese

Hey Stu !!

I know its a bit of a marmite dialemma isin't it!! Its ok though as i love it and thats all that counts in this situation!

I agree with you on the leathers - Flash bike + Flash Kit = FLASH GIT !! Not 100% sure on the styling of the Dainese so now also looking at an AlpineStars Octane suit!

Look forward to seeing you guys in Soho soon (that sounds quite dodgy - but it isin't ... honest )

Hey Strech, sorry to hear about your accident, didn't see it at the time so I've only just seen what happened

I actually thought you had chosen the bike to match your helmet! (assuming you actually have that one in your avatar, can't remember)
I think it would work well

I do indeed have the helmet in my avatar although this was not the main reason for buying the bike! It was a deal i couldn't pass up !! Should look pretty good though when it is all together!

All black leathers for sure - now looking at an AlpineStars SP-1 Suit(black), Supertech R Boots(black) and GP Pro Gloves (black/white)!!

That is true, but FT only own BKS and they do not stick there noses into the manufacturing process of BKS leathers.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. The mass produced BKS stuff is all made in the far east. Only the made to measure stuff is made over here at the factory in the west country
