  • Sure, but they do have very big protection inbuilt and held in just the right place and very comfy. Which is safe.

  • If I was doing longer or faster rides, I'd be up for it. I don't like the idea of squeezing into leather to pop to a couple shops and do a few errands.

    For town-traffic speeds (sub-60mph, often sub-40mph) what I'm looking for it the additional hard armour bit that the thin ghost armour doesn't have.

    I did enjoy the sensation of being on the CBR again today, but I would much prefer a relaxed ride than a bike that begs for knee-down everywhere.

    Not that the DR350 is a relaxed ride, it's a different kind of hooligan.

    Gonna try list the CBR again after it gets a new MOT this month.

  • Yes that's fair. I did have some textiles with big armour in them. But never felt as safe as it could move a bit. I just rode super defensive and steady.

    I also would do a shops trip in trouser and trainers. Which is dumb.
