Black. Black goes with everything.

I'd be more inclined to get the ones that fit your bodyshape within your budget.

Then look at the different colours they come in. Then ignore all of them and buy them in black.

Razz

Black or get labelled a tart. The choice is yours! Wink

Go black, anything else is subject to the whims of fashion.

I've had my current leathers for 14 years. They are black, they still look fine. As I recall, pink and purple was much in fashion back in 1995.

EDIT: If you want colour, get a coloured helmet. You only need to keep that for 3 or 4 years so it can't get TOO out of date.

Also, will your next bike be silver? Black goes with everything.

Why would anyone give a shit about the colour of your leathers?

And why would you care in the first place?

I swear there are more important things in the world than the colour of your leathers........

TART!!

To be fair, we're all a bit tartish at heart.

Black will always be in fashion, but the reason for bright colours, is if you come off the bike, you wont be mistaken for a bit of road.

I look a bit of a tit in a blue and day glo yellow jump suit, but if im sprawled out on the road, when someone comes round a corner, they will see me.

Black and/or white leathers look cool. But in general anything that isn't black will get you labelled a tart. Just get some that fit well, if they look cool, that's a bonus.

Erm, have you looked at your bike Confused.

Anyway, err, how about bright Orange:

Yes, being a tart, I did get them to match my (Orange, not this) bike and had the helmet 'custom painted' in the same paint!

Ok, as you guys are beings Tarts, I have the right to be a Bitch!

Be really careful with a white suit. Saw a girl wearing one last year and it wasn't very flattering Shocked She looked like Marshmallow (Wo)Man Embarassed

I know it might seem dull and practical, but black is my vote, too Thumbs Up

Black, white and Kwak green. Not to match the ZZR (silver) but as they were bright and made me more visible. Got a silver VFR now and just bought a silver/red/black lid.

To be honest, the colour of them is immaterial as I'm not a weekend warrior with matching bike and power-ranger suit.. Smile

Go with whatever fits best, though blue tend to say "commuter" Smile

I'm with G - orange is the best colour! With my RD200 I'm doing it sort of back-to-front. I've got orange leathers so the bike is going to be orange too.
