i was referring towards weight

longer rides most of the time moving so heat should be ok... and on longer rides, chances are you're on leisure anyways.

end of an era

Confirm helmet issue, not jacket issue

Can.
However, You'll need to cool down the bike.

Doesn't matter if the human can withstand top speed (180-190km/h GPS Constant) all the way to destination 200+ km without break.

The 250cc engine couldn't.
I'm speaking from experience of my Yamaha R25
Wear and tear... Not really.

Just snapped conrods whole engine destroyed itself until today haven't go fix back (lol pandemic and other priorities in life)

Agreed, especially if you just done a track day at Pasir Gudang Then straight away hit up the north south highway.

Straights are so boring until I fell asleep on bike and almost gotten very dicey in a hurry.
Thank the heavens and went to the nearest R&R For lots of coffee and freshening up

Michelin pilot MotoGP 🤣

for scooters, the left lever IS for rear brake

Regardless, welcome to motorcycling!

600cc? R6/CBR600RR?

yes that is a good place, i gotten my B full there.

Glad to see that pricing is still maintained since 2015!

me, only in track.
public roads i ride slow je and too slow to feasibly / realistically drag my knees.
(that said, i've rode with riders to drag elbow on public roads, so eh LOL)

why?

dunno weight
outer peg
arms relaxed but didn't hands free for money shot

if you interested, just go track days only.
better to actually do it than be caught up on the technicalities.

sifu !
been damn long many years since met you in person

i'm actually contemplating on renting your bike just to dust off some years of rust, but with the covid19 situation and other matters at hand, i guess have to hold off that thought for now.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF not you toooooooo

ok la at least still can action and race mad and salute

cartridge teruussssssss

do you know the price for those stuff? lol

only top of the line top tier racing usage for light weight while still similar/better durability than cow.

yeah, good for stuff like wallet/bag, but for protection, they aren't as durable.
feels good as gloves, but they probably last a crash or 2 similar to textiles.

Komine uses goat leather a lot, and they tear through very damn fast.

maybe they omitted.
from your link, images and a STG video looks to be still leather:


i only have Supertech R riding boots, 3 pairs. 2 V1 and 1 an even older gen (2015 or 2016 model?)
all bought under huge discounts/clearances, 1 from Malaysia 2 from Singapore.
they are confirmed to be all leather and endured few crashes in all 3 of them, all stood up well.

cheapest i gotten was like 400-500?
most expensive was like 1k

No idea since covid19

Cost?
Inconvenience?
Malaysian hot weather?
"I go slow only la"? (Other people don't go slow ya lol)

Some of the main reasons people tend to mention

It is up to you to balance out your pros and cons and own up your choice. You're responsible for your own well-being.

Ps: although I generally promote ATGATT, I tend to go minimal to even squid on kapchai. Yes I am well aware the consequences if I do fall.
More so being a new parent myself. ( There goes my riding days for the short time being lol!)

=Edit=
After re reading your post, are you referring to those plastic looking pieces that you tend to see more on Moto cross riders use?

Assuming yes

1) cheap ones WILL move away from their intended spot
2) assuming even if they do not move, you don't get full coverage on other spots from abrasion injury (look up road rash)
3) proper guards those moto cross guys use, are very bulky and expensive.
4) the cheaper and more casual road going ones, like Komine that I also own and use, are also quite inconvenient to put on and they will not protect other locations on abrasion like my thigh shins and bums. Which I actually lost a lot of skin on one of my fall. one of the knee protector strap abrasion ate through it and the protector gotten loose. And even this fact wouldn't matter because the locations I got injured, the knee protector wouldn't cover it anyways.
