or
I can't decide.
If these were the only 2 jackets in the world and you had to choose one, which one would it be. And I ride a red/black 1000RR.

I can't believe it's too easy to keep a white jacket looking good.

I'd go with the 1st one, the white & red because it's a better made jacket.

I'm not voting because I can't make up my mind. I think in the long run youll like the red and black one way more but... The white one has an awesome design that really makes it stand out very very well. The white one will look way cooler at gatherings and really now, my Dainese has a lot of white on it and it's no problem to keep white. I think I'm gonna have to say go red/black even though I'm no joe rocket fan.

go with the first one. white leather is not that hard to keep white. now white textile, that's a whole different story. plus i like the style of the first one much better. just go ahead and buy both and see which one you like better. and i'll take the discarded one off your hands!

I like the style of the first one just a tad more but..The second one matches your bike much better and is a nice looking jacket so my vote went for #2.

i like the first one, i was going to get the textile one like that after i paint my bike. and white textile does suck to keep clean, i have a joe rocket gsx-r like the first one, and the white is pretty dirty, leather may be different though, dont know.

I like them both and I love the white, but the other one goes better!

Hey OldFatGuy, where are you ordering your jacket from? I have the old textile Honda jacket, but am looking to get the leather version. You're right though, it's a real tough choice!

I ordered from Motorhelmets.com. If you click and request their prices, they will send you a code to enter when ordering that will give you 20% off list. So $279.99. Not sure if that's the cheapest price around, but it's the best I could find.

sounds cheap to me for leathers. the textile is $200.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out. Got to looking at the jackets on the Rocket website, and I think the black/red is definitely the one for me.
Thanks again!
