From what I've read Alpinestars leathers tend to be made for tall and skinny (which is what you are I believe) and their quality is absolutely top of the line, give them a check.

i already did... but $1700 is way too much for me.

alpinestars would have been perfect since they have the small size that i believe will fit me.

but my budget is only $800 max.

$800 could also get some good one on one training at a track.

Just an fyi.

Get bit by another cat, but find a bigger one this time... so it does some real damage.

Not all alpinestars leathers are that expensive...check their new "soon to be released" suits. The stage, sphere, etc.

Or try this

Or my personal favorite ebay!

There are a TON of new suits (both 1 and 2 piece) that you can buy instantly (no stupid bidding)

*edit* just realized that site only has that suite in one size/color. Although perhaps it'll work for you (you do have a black bike, although the size may be off)

saw the stage and sphere... didn't like them.

i want one w/ an aerody hump. the cheaper, vector model, alpinestars w/ the hump looks bad so didn't want it either.

this is big money im spending so i better make sure i get the stuff i like or else i'll just wait.

i also intend to spend money on a cornering school but i can't find one that is not track based.

i can't go to the tracks yet, so many things i need...

1. 1pc leather suit
2. racing bodywork
3. truck and trailer ...i could rent but that'd be too much money i'd rather spend on other stuff. i need some friends that have powerful trucks.

If your only planning on track days than a 2 piece suit with a full circumference zipper should be fine. Upside to that is you can use it on the street too

I try to keep my yap shut about your purchasing criteria, Verm, but you may want to dig a little deeper when researching safety equipment.

Just a thought....... no pressure......

Until you can get to 45 degrees you don't need a cornering school. Something tells me you haven't made it past 80 degrees yet.
