If you are at your local motorcycle dealership checking out motorcycle parts and motorcycle accessories, be sure to take a little time to look at their selection of sportbike apparel also. These days, a motorcycle shop is often so much more than just a place to get parts for your bike. More often than not it is often apparel heaven when it comes to finding great looking gear to wear when you ride your motorcycle.

If you are looking at the selection of clothing that is for sale you will likely see that sportbike apparel is slightly different than your typical motorcycle gear. Regular motorcycle clothing tends to be more basic, as in basic black leather jackets or leather riding pants. When it comes to sportbike apparel the look is quite a bit sportier with trendier influences to it.

One item that you might see is a shorter jacket with a logo or insignia in the front. Sportbike enthusiasts tend to like to show off their favorite brand of bike on the clothing that they wear. Many of these jackets tend to have a short stand up collar to help keep the wind off of the neck area. Sleeves are usually full length and often include reinforced elbow patches. Some will have a logo on the back while other sport the brand name on the front or on the upper sleeve area. Depending upon whether you have a favorite brand of bike or not, you very well may find a great jacket that you fall in love with.

When it comes to apparel for sportier bikes, you will likely also notice a great selection of riding gloves. These riding gloves tend to be a little larger in proportion than regular gloves and usually have quite a bit more padding. When riding a sport bike, the rider's hands are exposed to the fast moving air to a greater degree, so the extra padding helps to keep the hands warm and protected at the same time. These gloves usually extend higher on the forearm area with a bit of a wider cuff area too.

Regardless of whether you purchase any new sportbike apparel or not, it is always interesting to see the differences between regular motorcycle clothing and apparel for a sportier bike rider. It truly is like night and day when you compare the two styles together to see the differences.
