Considering my bike is silver, it goes with just about anything.

I bought my gear before the bike, but I think it turned out pretty well. My bike only has basic colors though, so pretty much anything will go with it.

Meh, sorta. It all matches (or coordinates) with each other. My jackets are black, black, white, and black & red. My gloves are all either black or red. My boots are all black. My helmet is red, black & white. (my OLD bike was green & white, my current bike is red w/black).

No. I wear red primarily for visibility, but I've never owned a red street bike.
All of my dirt bikes have been red but my gear was always blue.

My hjc helmet, JR mesh and JR gloves that I started with were all blue and black so they did match. Then when I started buying newer/mostly higher quality gear I went with black so it would match whatever I buy next. Ive now got 2 pairs of black a* gloves, a black a* jacket, silver/white shoei and will have black a* boots within a few weeks. Then all thats left is pants and eventually Id like to get a 1 piece if I start getting into track days.

My bike's black and my leathers (jacket and 1-piece), boots and gloves are black and my helmet is the grey Kagayama replica. I would have the Kagayama regardless of what color my bike is. I generally try to match everything else though.

Yep. Altho mainly just because Im not a fan of color. I like white, silver, and black. My gear is either one, or all of those shades at any given time.
