Pros: Survived a 50mph lowslide and looks nearly as good as the day I got it. Did not ride up.
I'm 6'6" and it fits me great.
Cons: A little too cool in 40F weather a little too hot in 90F weather.
This jacket saved my hide in a 50+mph lowside coming out of a turn when I hit some wet leaves. I rolled and slid and then got up and walked away. No bruises anywhere on my chest or arms. Some scuffing on the jacket but its' 100% intact and good for another fall.

Decent Value
By Andrey from Wayne, PA
Pros: Fits tall guys well. Decent air flow when moving at least 30mph.
Removable liner is very warm. Assuming you do not get stuck in traffic much you can wear this jacket year round.
Cons: An extra vent that you could zip open or closed would be nice. Other than that I have no complaints.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I'm 6'6" and was really worried about the length of the sleeves and the jacket itself. It fits perfectly. It can be a little tight around the shoulders but this is probably a result of it being brand new.

Versatile
By Guchmyster from Turlock, CA, USA
Pros: Vents are welcome on a warm day.
Cons: Let's face it... No leather gear is appropriately cool at +100 degrees F.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I got one size slightly larger too allow for my work clothes underneath... others would want a more snug fit.
Comments: I keep some gorilla tape (black duct tape) in my tank bag and cover the vents up when it really gets cold 20-30 F. That's about as bad as it ever gets in CA. Took a small spill last week and my... (Read the rest of this review)

Breaks in Nicely
By Steve from San Jose, CA
Pros: Nice to wear on colder rides. Has a removable lining for warm days. The leather breaks in and gets really comfortable (took may-september of wearing it everyday), but until then it can be a little stiff.
Cons: It's not a hot weather jacket at all. At high 80 degrees at stoplights its not comfortable, but on the freeway it's fine. I do get warm pretty easily though and sweat like a yeti. So you might be fine.
