I have decent gear
> agv k3sv helmet $200
> sedici Gabriel jacket $300
> alpinestars smx-2 ac gloves $70~
> just use combat boots for boots
What I have works, and looks good
I wanted to start out with something cheap no matter what and i reasoned that it'd be better to start on a cheap, used bike than get a new, expensive bike which I'm just gonna grow out of in a few months
>crappy boots
>no pants
>cheap helmet
Ninja 500's are pretty cheap, I doubt they'd be much more than a Rebel 250 desu.
Rebel 250= $1600 (almost got one for $1100)
Ninja 650= $7,400-7,800
> cheap helmet
It'll save my life and the protection rating is just as good as much more expensive helmets, it just isn't as flashy
> crappy boots
Ya
fun.
t. shitbike owner who tops out at 50mph
Wish i could find i bike that cheap. Cheapest i see is a running cbr with an extended body. Guy turned it into a cruiser.
look up scorpion convert pro jeans.
Theyre baggy/bootcut, but look and feel like jeans and 100% codura. saved my knee in a lowside at 40mph when my leg got trapped under the bike and i was dragged knee down. no knee pad or else I would have been 100%, just was a little stiff with a small friction burn that lasted 2 weeks.
at $150, well worth it to avoid a 10 year knee injury or surgery.
>>ninja650 $7,000
KEK. maybe on the dealership floor for 2017.
you can find 2006-2009 models for $3-4 grand on CL. everyone that buys them realized its not a 600 retard bike and sells it after they get bored of linear powerband
you grossly overpaid but if you like it then good on you
How did I grossly overpay?
Must be awful to live in fear
