I had a normal Yamaha race suit, 2 piece. I wore it everyday. If it was 99 degrees, i waited till dusk to ride etc. I also had the gloves and boots (no longer offered). My helmet was just a normal Arai. I wore this gear everytime I rode my R1. I caught some flak, but I am not one to care really. If you want to ride in shorts and sandals, go ahead, but I don’t want to hear it. Anyway, I got smashed by a BMW X5 making and illegal left turn. It was under 30mph. My head, shoulder, leg hit so hard, and then I slid a bit. Keep in mind this was under 30mph. When it came time to settle with Mr. BMW’s insurance, they informed me that the racing suit was a “specialty item” and didn’t depreciate like a normal black leather jacket you would wear out etc etc because it was a motorcycle only item. Anyway all my gear was scuffed and the R1 repairs exceeded the cost of the bike due to impact and slide damage. I got enough to get a whole new suit. except the helmet, I only got like $200 because it was old. Had I wrecked in jeans and just the Jacket, I would’ve got hurt for one thing, and lost out on the FREE 2 piece racing suit. I may have looked like a Power Ranger, but I got up and rode home. That means more to me than any reason to wear a jacket only. I wish I had the Rossi suit, I would’ve got closer to $3000, instead of the $1600 for my suit and gloves etc.

If they had classic 50th anniversary Yahama suits, I would buy one. Even if it had typcal Rossi stuff on it.
