ok it's a stupid question I know but what would you wear on a 600 bandit as it's not a sports bike and I dont think one piece leathers would look right. I'm bloody confused on what to wear as I want to stay safe and not look like a twonk! Rolling Eyes Embarassed so someone help me out I never realy thought about it till my mate reminded me I'm doing my test on friday and I've got a bandit and what the f**k am I going to wear I've got a textile jacket and trousers

Two-piece black leathers would be good, wouldn't they? More "old skool" bikers look...

Quality gear and not too bad on the wallet.

I wore a pair of jeans when I had my accident, the armour in my jacket took all of the impact and my back protector and boots took most of the abrasion, I only had one graze on me knee and a bruise.

As they all say Slide Not Tumble!

Anyway back to the subject 2 Piece Leathers would be nice, black and red Very Happy

Speaking as a fellow Bandit rider, Leather jeans and a plainish textile jacket, decent boots. nods a plenty Cool. I agree you might look a bit of a tool in full race leathers and you'll look like a courier in all black leather.

I wear full leathers on my SV - can't see what the problem is really, I wear them on the TZR250 too.
Better to put up with the odd comment than to put up with gravel rash IMO
