5 Best Motorcycle Jeans Under $250

Motorcycle jeans are a stylish and comfortable way to help stay safe while riding.

These motorcycle jeans blend style, protection, and comfort extremely well.

I love motorcycle jeans. Personally, I don’t care for leather pants or chaps when riding, I find them to be a little too hot and I’m just not a cool enough guy to pull them off.

Also, most other motorcycle pants just look a little silly. With all of the great choices out there when it comes to motorcycle jeans, there’s not a reason to not pick some up. Quality pairs offer good protection, high levels of comfort, and stylish looks and fit.

Here are five pairs of motorcycle jeans with excellent reviews and features that come in under $250.

The Royal Enfield Himalyan already looked good, but now it looks even more interesting.

Transforming an already cool Royal Enfield into something amazing.

I’ve profiled Smoked Garage’s work before. The team there builds some of the most amazing custom motorcycles out there, but this Royal Enfield Himalayan build is next level.

The bike has been featured at several different websites. Pipeburn also posted a video on YouTube about the build. It’s shown above.

I highly recommend you check it out and then head over to Smoked Garage’s website to see more of their work.

Purpose Built Moto Yamaha XT250 MX Scrambler

I’ve never seen an XT250 I wanted to ride more.

There are a lot of good custom scramblers out there. This is one from Purpose Built Moto is of them.

Last week, I shared a build from Purpose Built Moto, and the guys do such a good job with their stuff, I thought I’d share another one.

This one is a killer XT250 MX Scrambler. I like the XT250’s looks, to begin with, but this build looks absolutely fantastic.

If you want some gloves but can’t stand having your whole hand covered, then I suggest you pick up one of the following pairs of fingerless gloves for under $25.

Purpose Built Moto Suzuki TS185 Street Tracker

There are few old Suzuki motorcycles out there as cool as this TS185 built by Purpose Built Moto.

Quite the killer street tracker.

Purpose Built Moto has all kinds of cool builds showcased on their YouTube channel. This one in particular caught my eye.

It’s a Suzuki TS185 that the team worked on and built into a fantastic little street bike.

Stephen Brisken Ducati 900 SS Cafe Racer

This amazing Ducati 900 SS cafe racer was built by a 21-year-old named Stephen Brisken.

Stephen Brisken built one heck of a Ducati.

Lately, I’ve come across several custom motorcycles that have been all chromed out. This Ducati 900 SS Cafe Racer by Stephen Brisken is just one of them.

I profiled the Bandit9 Arthur cafe racer a while back. That machine is gorgeous, but I’m a sucker for a good Ducati build and Brisken nailed it here.
