Hello boys and girls. I brought my first bike last season and its a 99 honda CBR 900rr. I brought a mesh joe rocket jacket. Then everyone started to tell me stories about how if you fall the mesh will melt etc. So this season i am getting a leather. I looked at icon but they were kind of expensive and people on here really didnt give them a good grade. So i been looking at shift racing. here is a ebay link to the jacket i was looking for. will this be good enough? i do alot of highway riding.

Good jackets but they don't offer much for ventilation. I have an Icon and love it. The only reason it gets a bad rap is because they aren't designed for track use but for highway riding they are great jackets.

 

well it says it has the perforated leather. I have just made up my mind i will be hot and probably will just be wearing a tank top or thin t shirt under the leather. but are they good jackets? thats my main concern

 

My girl has the women's version of the M1, got a hell of a deal on it. Anyway, this jacket really impressed me. The armor in the shoulders and elbows are really good, but the back armor is nothing more than a foam pad. The quilty of the jacket is really good too.

Last year when I was looking for a new jacket, I would have went with Shift, but they didn't have any red ones that I liked. The one I liked was the Shift SR-1, but there wasn't a red one. Now this year they have a red one and now they have one called Vendetta that I like. So, last year I ended up getting an Alpinestars Dyno jacket and love it.

 

Yeah, the M1 is a nice jacket, dont get me wrong, but the ventalation is as goos as some of the others. But for that price, its hard to turnit down

 

yes good quality jacket, buy that sh*t and ride safe
