LOOK!!!! What kind of motorcycle jacket is better for a sport bike? And which motorcycle is better?

Textile or Leather Also I am looking to buy a Honda CBR600 or a Suzuki GSX 600 but I don't know if I am tall enough to ride them, Which would you recommend for a height of 5'8"?PLEASE HELP THANKS!!!

Great- I think more girls should ride bikes! I love mine! I suggest leather- if you drop your bike it provides more protection than textile. (It sounds bad- but they have done tests to show that you can skid down the road further on leather than on the textiles, which will wear away faster). Leather does get hotter, but get a well made jacket with lots of vents, and a removable liner. This way if you continue to ride in cooler weather you will be happy you got one! I would also make sure you get one with padded elbows, kidney protection and knee protection in the pants.

I am 5'6 and started with a suzuki 600, it was ok in terms of height, I got it lowered as much as I could, they just softened the rear suspension to do it. You can actually get them lowered in other ways, but you should be tall enough! I switched to a Yamaha R6 after my suzuki, it is lighter than my other bike, and faster!! If it is your first bike I would suggest the CBR- they are supposed to be great for beginners, they are known to be very reliable. Good luck!!
