Plus plain black reinforced jeans, and a matte/gloss black helmet of some variety or other. (*Edit* And black boots et gloves, of course!)
I'd like to go understated with the leathers, and not too much green, so theoretically, the shoulder section would be the only green part of the leathers.
How do we all reckon that will look?
Im sure it will look fine together, how will it look on the bike?
My advice would be to buy something that that suits all bikes, that way you wont look silly with kwak leathers if one day you decide to get a bluw and white suzuki.
It's never really bothered me. The way I see it, the more mismatched your kit is to your bike, the more chance old Blindeo Tithead in his Mondeo is more likely to notice you.
Good point jamz. Thats why police cars have the battenburg colour scheme as they are quite contrasting. Out of interest i met the guy who developed that scheme when i was at the home offices scientific branch last year.
I've no particular desire for a Gixxer, and I'm debating getting a plain black jacket too, go stealth style and be a ninja on a ninja sort of thing. So a full black suit would suit most bikes, I'd reckon, anyway.

I'd go for plain leathers - you match any bike then.
Mine aren't exactly plain, but they are neutral. However in my usual slightly backwards way I am toying with spraying the track plastics so they match my leathers.
In the garage:
Kawasaki ZXR400 L3 - shiny
Suzuki DR800 - bouncy
1978 Suzuki GS400 - PROJECT RETRO RACER!
Kawasaki GPz500S - for sale soon
Honda CG125 BR-J - in bits

mine arent plain either... unfortunately.... but an arlen ness 2 piece for £249 was too good to turn down. Mine are black/silver/white.... I've got a black lid and blue boots. And the boots are getting changed for black ones when i can be bothered
i tried riding around in blue leathers for a couple of weeks - but felt silly so i sold them
Caz
My gear never really suites my bikes! rather sad if you buy new gear to match the bike if you ask me.. pritty much always have a huddy on over my leathers any unless its hot out!
ZXR750 L1
tail tidy, polished bits, custom paint job, k&n, dynojet, Full akropovik, down geared, GSXR calipers, hel brake lines front and rear & clutch line, maxtron resprung froks 120BHP
hm i have blue wolf leathers well blue black bit of silver an white they look good thoe. just so happen to go with me bike to but i wanted em cos they are roo skins really and it is much more comfy than cow hide.
i must say i like the hoody over the leathers look its casual yet not at any safety expence lol do you ever pull the hoody over the helmet
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things
