Glad to hear you've done your homework.
I'm a fan of black leather and that's what I purchase but keep in mind visibility and all that fun stuff.
With that being said based on looks purely I'm going to go with #1.0 -
I guess #1 if I were to choose but I'm a Harley girl. We dress differently.0

What are they made out of?
Who are the manufacturer?
I ride motorcycles and honestly after going down you won't care how cool you look or anything like that. I realize looking like a bad *kitten* power ranger is a fun part of it but that stitching, ventilation, weight, cuts of fabric are WAY more important.
Kangaroo makes some very light weight leather that you can maneuver in. If price isn't a factor definitely look at that as it's more expensive than traditional leathers.0 -
How about this?
http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-razon-perforated-leather-jacket Combined with
http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-womens-spartan-66-leather-pants
You don't get the racy look (no knee pucks or anything) BUT you do get one thing the others don't have: PERFORATION. And perforation on leather is priceless.
Was referring more toward the jacket, which is the only women's perf jacket Dainese makes from what I see.
Sorry, came up in the search for women's. Hmmm...
Well there's the SF you already know about http://www.revzilla.com/product/dainese-womens-sf-leather-jacket but it's only got the bubble liner, not a replacement for perf. Crap, why can't women's gear have perf?
Revzilla has the SF pant in stock still. But non perf. For me it would be a dealbreaker but how important is perf to you?0 -
Have you tried both of them on?
The second one looks cuter, but you gotta go with whichever is most comfortable. Also, as a rider myself, I don't recommend black. Black looks all cool and stuff, but it is really hard to see on the road and it is really hot.
Also, which suit has more vents?
I hate getting stuck at red lights in the sun and just baking in my gear. My jacket has vents that help when I'm going 40mph or faster, but when I stop, it swelters.0 -

Well, I'd love if I could say it's a deal breaker, but I've seriously run into 0 things with perf. So unless I want to ride nekki what choice do I have?
Make no wonder women I see don't wear gear?0 -

I don't recommend black either. I'd love something in green. I hate red. And I refuse to buy something that has a white *kitten* (if it was mostly white and had a black bum like the stripes one I'd get that, but unfortunately all of the things I have found is discontinued, feel free to find me something in a color that's not red or white in the bum.
None of the suits have vents. In fact the only suits I've found with vents are the rev'it which are 27 inch inseam. They come in long, but not in my size. I'm a 33 inch inseam. They wouldn't make it down to my boot, so that isn't an option. There is a Dainese racer jacket I could get that would zip to discontinued SF pants if I could find them...but the racer jacket fits baggy and I'd rather something fitted (particularly since my jacket road up over my back in my slide). Like I said, the best venting I've found is in the jacket I currently have, which is discontinued and has holes in it. It also doesn't zip to any pants and the seams are mostly grinded down and sowing a zipper in would be sketchy (not to mention the lack of leather workers here). I now want something that zips into pants, and I'm a tall women, which means there's nothing I can get with vents.
It F^ing sucks being a girl. Particularly a skinny tall one.0 -
Talking about nut shots...
I typically ride sport cruisers (favorite bike was FZ1)
I borrowed a friends SV1000 once and have been on inlines my whole life. I dropped two gears on that SV back end slid out and I nut checked his tank. I swear it dented the tank or at least it felt like it. I had a tears welling up and thought I was gonna be sterile. Talk about pain!
I worked in a motorcycle shop for a while and rode a ton of bikes. I don't understand why people get sportbikes. They hurt so much after riding for an entire day. I've had monkey butt and had it where my forearms felt like they were getting shin splints.0 -

I had monkey butt explained to me the other day...girls do not get monkey butt. Thank God for a unhairy *kitten*.
I understannd why people get sportbikes, they're so comfortable. I hate sitting on a cruiser and feeling every bump go up my entire spine. I'd rather straddle something like a bf. I've been on 4 hr rides and it hasn't bothered me a bit. And I know people who have gotten saddle sores in less time from their touring bikes.0 -
Biker opinion. I like the look of 1 as a biker. Plenty of stretch panels which is good also slightly less sweaty. Take it they are both full zip attatchment (if it don't go all the way round you can't wear it for track days). Dainese is a good brand so good either way, neither is a bad choice. Often I end up buying small in mens for a bit more choice but I have the advantage of being short so small is not too short generally.
Only things to watch is if you are 2 different sizes your zips will have to be altered as they won't match up - disadvantage of mens - there is no hips built in to them.
Also - not sure because I have never had one but would the hump make you hot?0 -

I wouldn't say the hump would make you any hotter then a back protector, and this isn't a full one either. And I fully intend to get a back protector into it even if it means shaving down one of my old ones0 -
Id say go with the orange one. You will look like Luke Skywalker when he destroyed the Death Star.
And we know how fast the X-wing fighters were.0 -

Oh, I have a 2 piece race leather set that the bottoms zip to the top. As I said it is a mens (cheaper and more choice) so the pants have no room for hips and I went 1 size up on the bottom to top. So I had to get the zip altered so they are a matching pair.0

There's one leather worker I've found who seems to have broken moms purse...I do not trust them with suits lol.0
