I'm not even sport coordinated. I wear F1 shirts to motorcycle races, and motorcycle shirts to car races, football shirts to soccer games, rugby shirts to other events. I wear whatever no one else will have. I do have a Suzuki jacket that is the right color, I have a few Harley Suede jackets, a bunch of leather bike jackets, I used to wear dirt bike jackets and coats all the time (those nasty oil or wax coated things), I look like a mess most of the time. Hell sometimes I even wear a helmet. I always wear gloves though.

I have a monochrome theme going on... Black bike, white leather jacket, black pants, silver helmet, black gloves.
I bought a bright red + black textile jacket recently though. Good thing black matches with anything. |

I have always thought of color coordination like this: The rider's gear should be color coordinated but not necessarily with the bike. I have a black jacket that allows me to wear whatever helmet and pants I want and a red and black jacket that I wear with my black helmet with red decals. I've always thought that GP riders that have gear that is a different color scheme than their bikes, but matched within the gear they're wearing, looked fine and pretty sharp actually. Additionally, I often think of the helmet as a separate piece of gear in terms of matching, meaning that if all my other gear matches but my helmet is different (but complementary) everything is good. VR usually looks pretty sharp even if his helmet is way crazy compared to his leathers.

+1, save perhaps purple & brown. Thank goodness there aren't too many bikes out there in those colors
Blue & black bike, black boots, black gloves, blue/black/silver jackets, black helmet, blue or silver/black pants. Had hoped/aimed for a monochrome set like David & Talonne, but there was a sale on blue jackets ($145 for colors vs $400+ for white/black). Also, it's a PitA getting blue gear that's anywhere even close on the right shade for the Candy Plasma Blue

Somewhat... more coordinated for safety than fashion.
Blue bike, matching blue helmet (shoei), black pants, black gloves, and black/hi-vis yellow touring jacket. ... so at least the helmet and the bike match

I wish. You can't get a kawi green jacket or pants if you're a girl. I started out with pink even though I hate pink just because I wanted something brighter then black that I could match up.
But I hate pink, so I'm slowly turning to white. The lower half is done haha.

@EngrNewf: Are those the Scorpion Savannah pants that you have on?!
Overall, I am all matching, except for labels. Icon boots and Icon Battlecry helmet (white, gold, black, silver). The Scorpion gloves, pants and jacket all match and are White, Gold & Black.

I guess I'm coordinated. Its always a good thing when the wifey tells me I look like a "power ranger" or "coming from out of space".
The other day I had a random guy on a HD stop and asked me if I needed help with my "parachute" (aka. backpack) since its so hard to pull the straps over my leathers. He laughed and I laughed, with me responding "all my gear all the time". At that point he just zoomed off as I waved. |

I have a yellow scorpion jacket...kawasaki green helmet(which I had to paint myself, since finding a kawasaki green helmet is darn near impossible), black pants, black boots...
It really aggrevates me that its so hard to find kawasaki green stuff. Oh... And to all the women out there....Scorpion Savannah pants....those things are smokin hot, enough to make a guy wreck his bike. |

I've been thinking about getting the niptuck or the leather version of it. Do you mind if I ask how tall you are and what size jacket you got? I'm afraid it's going to be to short in the arms. I tried the leather version on in medium and it was fairly large.

I'm 5'4". The pants are a bit long but I have long legs and I got a medium. They fit perfect over my jeans. I think I got a size Small in the Jacket, but I can't remember. I'll have to check when I get home. The sleeve Length for the jacket is just right. I have a short torso, but long everything else.
I like the jacket because it fits nicely and has the sides that are adjustable and it's great to just even wear out, too.

Just about everything I own (clothes) is either red, black, gray, or white.
Naturally, this applies to my bikes and gear too. |

@EngrNewf
the nip tuck jacket, unzipped, comes down to my knuckles. That's about an extra 4 inches. from the top of my shoulder to my knuckles is about 24.5 - 25 inches. I hope that helps!

Black pants, Black jacket with reflective piping, Black gloves and boots, and a School Bus Yellow Nolan helmet. I guess it does not coordinate with a green bike. It`s good stuff though.

Only Goldwing riders should have matching gear. It's like a code or something... next time you see a group of Goldwingers, take a look - if someone (or a couple) don't match, they'll be at the back of the pack! lol!

I'm completely monochrome (except for turn signals and tail light) on everything, so yes I match and I'm certainly not a Goldwing!
