Bike looks great and you have a nice back yard. What do you think of the jacket?? I was thinking of buying one of those myself. What's the quality like.

It is still a bit stiff, it is definitely NOT a high quality motorcycle jacket.
Is it worth the $175.00 USD, I paid for it? YES!
The fit isn't quite right. I am hoping once it breaks-in and loosens up a bit, it will be better.
I had to open up the inside and cut out some of the "speed hump" foam, because it was not allowing me to look up, or, "down the road."
It was a quick fix, with my wife armed with a sewing needle and me with a razor knife.
The other thing with the "stiffness," it makes me look fatt-er than I am!!!!

| I'd second those emotions with the jacket, if it had been priced as a proper jacket I'd have been dissappointed, at the £100 UK that they were selling with (including postage I recall) you cant really grumble...the Quasimodo hump on the back is extreme though..and only suits the Db6 for riding as you sit upright....looking left or right, or straight ahead on a bike with clip-ons...base of helmet hits the hump....Only grumble that gets me is theres no inside pocket for mobile phone, just 2 outside slash zipped pockets...but hey ho |

Mine has a very nice inside pocket on the left side. Maybe an upgrade?

Thanks for the review on the jacket mate. For that sort of money i wasn't expecting a top of the line jacket. Pretty good value if it looks good and lasts ok. Besides, theres nothing else on the market in the way of bimota jackets that i've seen.
Cheers
