New ICON Hayabusa Vest

[Mr Bogus]

I don't get it? No sleeves = no protection
Is there a jacket that you wear with it? ???

yea first thing that hit me too, may as well make it out of vinyl.. Is a pure "bling thing"

 

[Commuta_Busa]

I just can't get into the faux tactical vest thing...

Not at all. YES Harley riders pioneered the leather vest fashion, but you need to check out urban sportbike club fashion. Leather vests are extremely popular with sportbike motorcycle clubs. But the fashion has evolved a lot from what you see on Harley riders. Now you see a lot of vests that look more like bulletproof vests and other more forward fashion.

The Icon cost more because its made of leather and it looks better, u get what u pay for

I will also repeat that the vest comes with a back protector that is probably worth $100.

I predict that these will not do as well as expected for the simple reason that they are so popular with MC Clubs. Well the other important consideration about clubs is that they all wear patches in the exact place they have put the kanji. For that reason, I have not worn mine once. I am always wanting to display my colors.

If it weren't a collectors item, I would probably sell it. I still might sell it at some point.

can we get some pics of the front thinker? thanks bro

the front is identical to that of the standard Regulator Vest. Google it or go to ICON's website.......Ride Icon

Also note that they told me there would be a whole line of Busa stuff coming out. so be on the lookout for jackets, helmets, gloves etc. Should be interesting. February is what they originally told me.

 

[txbikerdude]

[Busa1166]

I hope not that much.. Sales would be slim..

Don't be so sure

I have that vest an it has 0.0001 worth of protection an armor on it. it's something I put on over field armor. Don't know what kind of armor or padding the Icon is coming with.

My thoughts too. That's exactly where my patch is. LOL

I owned the vest that suzuki offers and would not recommend them.
They are juust mesh and velcro I got mine for $20 would never pay the $80-$100 suzuki wants after having one.
