I want to purchase a one peice suit for track riding next year and I need something that while has great protection is also affordable and comfortable. Also I want to pick something that a few people in MC club can afford (so we can be uniform on the track) so a custom suit is most likely out of the question. Any suggestions?
Affordable is a relative term...but I'd say challenge your assumptions on custom if you've never actually got pricing from a couple.

If you look on 1000rr.net, there is a special from a vendor on Arlen Ness suits. They have Kangaroo, cowhide, perfed, and non-perfed. I think the perfed cowhide was $750 and it looked pretty good to me.
Less than $1000. Preferably in the $400-$750 range. The suit that Jetdude suggests looks nice...and I would pay $1000 for it. I hear Kangaroo has the best abrasion resistance, so I am definately interested in that.

Stay away from the MOTO GP brand of roo skins. They will rip apart at the seams, especially at the hump.

I have this one. I paid 300 on closeout. Its tecnic chicane. I'm cheap, but this suit is a 600 dollar suit, and I'd buy another. I've seen several at the track with it, so it seems to be popular.

hands down the best suit you can buy for the money... you can also get them in different colors... got my yellow one a couple years back for $400 new.. never regretted it since... awesome suit IMHO
I paid $580 shipped for an Alpine Stars CR1 race suit. It has a small speed hump and fits well. I'm 6 foot ~250lbs and a 50/60 fit me very snugg and as I loose more weight it will have room for armor. Length wise, it fit me ankles to wrists. I have no complaints on this suit. My only other experience wit 1 piece suits is my SCCA legal race suit.

Saw a couple of these in person and would definitely buy one if I was in the market. They have black and silver. I also love my Astars suit and there are a few that come in under the $1K mark.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
Just a thought also Smooth... Different suits fit different body types. So if you are looking to semi-match a stocky guy is less likely to fit the same suit as a twig.
