i just bought that jacket and love it. it has 2 removable layers. one is a thermal layer, the other is a waterproof layer which you can use as a seperate windbreaker if you felt so inclined. and, unlike other meshes that i've seen, this one has the hard plastic armor and leather patches on all the likely impact and slide areas. you really do get the best of both worlds.

if you go new (and you'll have to do your own research to confirm this), you may have to deal with the new tier of emissions equipment now required. IIRC, all 08 model year bikes have to meet European tier 3 emissions standards, which means O2 sensors and cats. may want to go a year earlier if you can find a new one somewhere, or a good used one.

PS - while you're at it, pull off the grab handle and get the mod that lets you use the brake lights as turn signals. that'll smooth out the whole ass end nicely.
