I'm looking at the RC-1, MX-1 and the GP Plus.
**Whats with the hunch back lump?

**If i get any of these will time allow the leather to loosen up so i can put my arms down?
I'm currently riding with a hand-me-down leather jacket from my father. great jacket I just dont like the lack of protection.

Whats with the hunch back lump

For air flow through the suit.

Is there anything I should be specific on getting?

If you plan on any track days, make sure it has a waist zipper to connect to pants.

If i get any of these will time allow the leather to loosen up so i can put my arms down?

Yes, it will take a while to get it to break in.

Hope that helps.

Skip the speed hump unless you'll be doing more than a few track days. It's mostly for aerodynamics and those models tend to cost a bit more too.

Nice thing about leather is how it wears in to fit your body, don't go too snug though cause there's only so sexy any dude has a right to look...
