HI everyone, Today i was at my local Honda Dealer and noticed a nice Jacket. I check the price and say WOW! I could have paid more than 400$ on ebay for it( with the shipping to canada and duty) and it was a little more than the half of that price!! So in a moment feeling, decide to bought it! THe only problem is that its tag with CBR on both arm but so little that i didnt notice it at first. So, my question is : Will i look a complete idiot with this jacket on an 84 nighthawk S or not?! I'm biased on it. Thanks to let me know. PErsonnaly i love it, but i dont want the CBR guys think im an idiot who can't afford a CBR (which is not, i dont want those bike, simply) Heres a pics of the jacket and one of my bike.     |

I like it. It'll match your bike nicely.
And I would have thought the CBR was just another logo on the arm, it's not very noticeable.
Maybe the CBR logo can be removed easily? :)

I'd say you're fine.
If you really worry about it, get a seam ripper (only a couple of bucks) and take the patches off before you use the jacket too much.

No worries. If any CBR riders bother you tell them you upgraded to the Nighthawk.  I think the patches can be removed fairly easily. |

CBR
If any 'me too* bike' rider has an issue, let them know that any fool can walk into a dealer and buy a CBR, but try getting a right side cover for a Nighthawk S.
*Guy I met at a bike night with an RF900 used this term for the ubiquitous CBR/R6/GSX-R/Ninja sportbikes.
"What kind of bike do you have?"
"Me too!"

Yes it is. I need to take more pics but im still decorating the garage, just finished the floor and painting the wall 2 weeks ago.    I will try to take some shot of the jacket on me on the bike. |

The jacket is nice, however, who gives a rat's ass what anyone thinks?
95% of the public has no clue as to what any of the logos mean.

I have a similar jacket except its textile. It had the CBR patches on it too. I picked up a seam ripper and took them off in about 5 minutes. Nice jacket you got there and even nicer bike.  |

Sweet looking jacket, bike and garage. I'd say who gives a s___ what anyone thinks about the cbr patch. You like it and that's all that matters. By the way I have the same jacket in textile, newenough had pics up of what it looked like with the patch's removed and it looked good on the textile, I don't think I'd remove patch's from leather. JMO.
