Nice jacket, but I wasn't a fan of the perforated leather......it just ruins the look of the jacket in my opinion

I went with the Joe Rocket Honda CBR Leather Jacket instead


How much did you pay for it?

Check out this one I found on ebay.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-2...QQcmdZViewItem




1. It's got the Honda Wings logo on the front & back in front of the word "Honda"

2. It's got an extra wing on the back of the jacket....4 instead of 3 like posted on here

3. It's got "Joe Rocket" patches instead of "Honda" patches on the shoulders


It's not a previous model or anything either because it says 2006 on the auction. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't but I think it's counterfeit.
I also saw a possibly counterfeit Joe Rocket CBR jacket (like mine) that this guy was selling....and it had extra stuff that my jacket didn't have (the honda wings logo next to the "Honda" word--mainly)


Here's the picture from JoeRocket.com:

$297 at the Dealer. They matched the internet price. I recieved many compliments from other riders yesterday. The jacket is very sturdy and well ventilated.

Hey samerr,

Nice jacket, I have been looking for something very similar. One question though, does it come with hard or soft armor? Thanks in advance for any help!

That jacket is sweet! I have been looking at that exact jacket (and drooling). I checked out the website, but they didn't have too many specifics. I own the old style Honda textile jacket (vintage 1999 product), and am really looking for something with more protection. If you could share any specifics, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
