Are they frowned upon like white boots commonly worn amongst the gixer fraternity?

Only ask as a mate of mine bought a 2 piece BKS suit cheap when FT went bust. It's too small for him but fits me so asked if I wanted it for mates rates. Currently got a 2 piece Alpinestars suit that I love but if I'm honest, it is a bit tight & could probably fetch the money for it on fleabay that he is asking for the BKS one?

Anyone got one of these BKS Silverstone suits? If so, what’s the build quality like? Are they comfy? Will the white be a ***** to keep clean?

My current suit & the one in question:

I have a white Tuono so would go well, just don't want to look like a friggin power ranger, lol
