Textiles with armor and leather with armor are best. I don't believe either has an advantage over the other. The key is armor. Reflective material a real plus at night, overcast, or rainy conditons. Obviously makes you more visible.
I can remember when a 250 was a big bike! When my dad bought his new Suzuki 305 (2 stroke), that was a monster bike! How times change.
I fear 700 plus pound motorcycles have become the SUV's of motorcycles. Some seem to think bigger (heavier, bulkier) is better. At what point does a motorcycle become a land yacht?
