Default Honda CBR vs. HRC Leather Jacket?

Does anyone have experience with either jacket? I'm looking into getting one, but I'm not sure which one. I kinda like the CBR style better, but I obviously want the most comfortable snug fit. Let me know, thanks!

btw. if you have any other suggestions in the price range of $200-$350, let me know.

One more thing, I'll most likely be posting my few months old Icon Motorhead Jacket XL in the Classifieds tonight for $150 + shipping or best offer above $150. (Its the jacket in my avatar). PM me if you're interested.

The Honda jackets are made by Joe Rocket. They are new for 06. So nobody has them yet. They should be identical, just different graphics. Go to www.joerocket.com then under gear, you will see a link for Honda. Click on that and they have the item descriptions.

If I ever get my hands on a Repsol..i'll pay whatever to get the jacket and the helmet...until then, I have a Seool's (Okinawa Japan) jacket. I let one of my boys wear it when I first got to NC before I got my 929 and he had all sort of people asking to buy it. I've had the same results since then. I'd love to wear a Honda jacket but only if I get the Repsol will I invest in one.

Yep, I've already gone to their website and even researched it on Ebay. Looks like it goes for $350, but I'm just wondering about the quality. I guess I'll go to a dealership and try it on myself.

Did you use the Best Offer option on Ebay to get that price? Or was it used? I am leaning towards the CBR Jacket over the HRC one. Definitely let me know how it feels and also who you went to on Ebay for that price, thanks!

just got it today i like it a lot. my girl friend loves it better that the Joe Rocket Blaster 3.0 i was going to get. i have not taken i out on the bike yet. i like it a lot better than my old first gear jacket i had. I like the way it has an auido hole in the front for you headphones wire to go. i picked it up on Ebay from a guy who bought it and it was the wrong size for him. it is a real honda product. I was going to buy the ones you summit an offer. i was going to summit it for 299 and see if they take it. the cheapest i found it for is 329 for it. I will keep you info if any flaws show up.
