from the other reviews i have found on the webs they are mainly used as military, shooting, mountain biking gloves. http://www.tucsonguns.com/ShootingGloves-001.php http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=93698 so not sure on the motorcycle, but then i have a crappy pair of single stitch mx gloves so these have to be at least equal to those.
