Motorcycle USA 2010 Ducati Streetfighter First Ride
Motorcycle.com 2009 Ducati Streetfighter Review
(don't ask me why M-USA sez it's a 2010 model and MO.com considers it a 2009...). I think officially, it's an early release 2010 model).

BMW ComfortShell Jacket + PantsInitial Impressions
+ Very comfortable once you get used to the stiff NP protectors. They almost mold to you after you don the jacket and wear it for a bit.

+ Truly does what the Schoeller c_change "bionic fabric" advertises. In cold weather (high 30s/low 40s), the fabric seems to somehow keep you warm. As the temperature increases, (low 60s), the jacket somehow adapts and maintains a comfortable temperature.

I haven't tested it's waterproofness nor its performance in truly warm or hot weather but I think I have finally found a riding suit that will work on motorcycle trips and day rides from early Spring through late Fall.

The only downside is its price... and the fact the 2009 model now comes in red. I have the blue...
