I just got back from my local dealership and while i was there i figured i had better get it before it wasnt on sale anymore.

yeah those are nice. i alomst got that but i decided to go with the joe rocket sonic 2.0..dont think the grey would look right on my bike

 

i really like the looks of the new honda joe rocket jackets. but i really wish they made one is all black (with the honda logo's and stuff). personal preference but the grey or the red neither appeal to me.

 

I just bought myself the Joe Rocket Honda CBR Leather Jacket in red/black/white. Got it from a seller on Ebay for $289 SHIPPED & he got me the Phoenix 3.0 gloves (black) for $40 too.

(I think the one in the picture above is the textile version)

But yeah....the fitment is AWESOME & it's comfortable! Looks really sweet too. It sure was hard to find a decent fitting/looking jacket and I finally decided on that one.
I was also thinking about the Alpinestars Spinner jacket, but was unsure of the size since they're ony available in S,M,L,XL,XXL and I couldn't find a local dealer that carried Alpinestars to try one on.

About the color....yeah an all Black version would've looked sweet. The red/black is a little bright (helps people see you though), but the grey version was too bland and was not the right shade of grey or something. So I went with the red since it matches my red/black F4i.

But thumbs up for the jacket!

 

I was a lil bummed to find they didnt have one in black with white...and this one is textile with a zipout full liner and it was a plus to find it had velcro waist to cinch it up a hair.I bought a 2x for fit the large didnt seem to feel right.Im 5'11 180 odd how i end up with a 2x huh...LOL.

 

Wow a 2XL!?!?!

That's crazy sizing for you....lol

I ended up getting a 44 in the Leather CBR jacket for myself....I'm 6' and 160. I know a 44 is on the small size end too. The 46 felt more comfortable but was too wide and really baggy.
44 feels right on me though.

 

That jacket looks sick. How it feel, armour, venting, quality of the leather?

 

Its a great fit,doesnt bind and its the textile not leather.Im not rich ...yet...LOL

 

This is the jacket I got....the leather version.....called the "CBR" Leather Jacket:





Feel & the fitment is awesome!

Armor is nice too (on the elbow, shoulder & a lite piece on the back)

Venting.....hasn't been warm enough here in Michigan. Only got to ride once (on Sunday) and it was only 60 degrees. But it does have zippers on the front arms and on the back too (I think?)

Quality....REALLY REALLY good.
I was really impressed with this jacket when I first saw it....totally caught my eye. Then after I tried it on....I was like "Woah!....that's the best fitting/looking jacket I've tried on"

The dealer I saw it at wanted $350 + tax for it....so it would've been like $370 out the door.

I found a guy on ebay who turned out is local to me here in Michigan & is an authorized Joe Rocket dealer, but got his stuff from a Massachussets warehouse--so it dropped shipped directly to me. I ended up paying $289 SHIPPED for the jacket (no tax). Can't beat that deal!

 

WOW, 2X??....im 5'-10 175 and took a large(Red/Blk JR Textile)....probably could have took a med, but i needed more room in the shoulders and the waist velcro cinched it up fine. Does that thing flap/flutter on the hwy?? I always heard that you want them as snug/tight as you could stand and still be able to have full movement
