I tried on the blue and white ones in the shop for sizing looked good.
Cheeky sales man bas**** told me the deal was only on for a week - I knew what he was doing but tbh I just wanted to spend that cash.

It wasn;t really the 650 business I was getting at. Just thought it might look a bit odd on a nekked. I know 650's are death in the wrong hands without a doubt, I'm aware - I've always warn armoured gear even on 50s. Just never had anything this racey.

The only downside is I look like a fat power ranger!

I love the powerranger vibe - perfect impromptu fancy dress party stuff

I have 2 piece HG leathers, the pro sports one, they are balck, blue and white and Black boots and awesome coloured arai lid.

Myself I love my leathers they are like a second skin and fit me great, all my bike gear fits like that. Your bike should fit like that and inspire confidence and feel good to wear.

To be honest I don't care if I people say whatever, they will help should I ever come off, the SV is more than fast enough to kill you, so yes always wear leathers. I prefer leathers over anything else.

The majority of comments I get are how people like the colour and look of my bike and the rider.

I thought the same thought the chest looked a little bland - But they look a lot better on. Mine are a bit tight on the chest (with back protector in) but I reckon they'll wear in okay.

Yeah, there's something nice about owning/wearing leather
