Title: alpinestars jackets
Post by: porsche4786 on October 01, 2006, 01:59:47 PM
I have been wanting a blue TZ-1 alpinestars jacket in blue, and I have been looking at them on new enough. I went to the local dealer today to check out their price and try one on, it seems like the real life color is much darker blue that in the pictures. I'm looking to get a blue jacket that is somewhat brighter that would match my blue 05 bue GSF/06 GSXR. Any ideas? I would prefer blue and white, with some black. If only the TZ-1 was a bit brighter. I haven't seen the MX-1 in real life, but it looks a little brigher, anybody ever use one?

MX-1 like $500 on ebay.

only way to be sure is to see each of them in person. pictures will never be the right color.

even the suzuki jackets arent going to be a perfect match.

Would I be better off buying a $700 2 pc suit? or buying alpinestars track pants and an alpinestars jacket seperate?

Okay, I think maybe I will get this jacket
Alpinestars Stage Jacket $342, and then get the alpinestars track pants later on.

Or I could just go ahead and get the Alpinestars Stage 2pc suit for $693
