The grip on that part of the tire won't matter if you're not using it. If you are using it then it will scrub in within a matter of minutes

bikes that don't have bicycle tires

These boots are the best bang for your buck, people have crashed in them on here all the time. They also have a waterproof version.
As for gloves I have the older version of these and enjoy them quite a bit.

>i have nothing logical to add so i'm just going to shitpost
>but no bicycle tires
sure! so an EX250 is fine. glad we could clear that up.
well ye, i know that being an absolute cuck cheapass isnt going to do me dick, but im not looking to spend 500 bucks on gear. i wont even pay that much for a helmet.
thank you!!!! deebeetee helps me yet again. appreciate it.
even with a little experience on things with only semi-auto clutches, im glad i am starting on a ninja 250R.......still suck at turning well, my shifting could DEFINITELY improve, and im already getting myself into trouble by enjoying going WOT in every gear from red lights, weaving between cars.
i feel like id eat a dick if i had bought a bigger bike.
plus, its a nanner ninja. how could you go wrong? bought it with 4300 miles on the clock (original), runs and looks like new as it should be, and its liquied cooled - which is almost mandatory here in phoenix.
>buttmad because he fell for a meme
your shitbike won't prepare you for anything other than a shitbike with a little more power.
650s are better tho and if you think it's too hard to handle for a beginner the girl I made my license with at the same time rides an ER6N as her first bike. So do you really want to tell me you're more of a pussy than a girl?
No problemo, if you don't like those gloves, you're pretty much gold as long as they are gauntlet and have carbon fiber knuckles (pinky bridge is a plus), so pick your favorite brand, style, and color and you're good to go.
Can we discuss helmets?
youtube.com
Is the U.K. SHARP helmet rating system the best around? Is the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) standard R22.05 worse than SHARP?
I don't even wanna consider the Snell M2010 or M2015 helmets after reading about how they kept selling helmets with the inferior M2005 ratings until 2012.
