REV’IT! Eclipse Jacket Review

The warm temperatures are here. Do you have a jacket that’s ready for them? No? Well, it’s time to consider the REV’IT! Eclipse Jacket. This jacket is designed to move a lot of air and that makes it great for warm weather riding.

The darn thing looks nearly identical.

Shineray, a company in China, appears to have produced a V-twin engine that looks nearly identical to Harley-Davidson’s Evolution V-Twin engine.

This has to be annoying for companies out there. The engine doesn’t just borrow the overall design and orientation of the engine, it even looks a lot like Harley’s Sportster engine down to the details.

If you need an affordable little bike for getting around I would point you towards the Honda scooter lineup. Honda manufactures some of the best scooters in the world.
