I am going to take a motorcycle biggener class in few weeks. I am looking to buy a used sportsbike and brand new gears.
Is a used Katana 600 a good beginner bike? or is it too powerfull for a beginner?
What do you think of Moto GP motorcycke gears brand? They are a little pricy, but I don't mind to pay more for more protection and quality.

How much in general I should spend on gears (helmt, gloves, jacket, pants, boots)? is $1000 too much?

I don't want to go crazy and buy too expensive gears that ment to be for racers, however I want to protect my body as much as possible.

All your comment are appreciated.

:welcome: do some searching on TWF on beginner bike... you will find tons of threads on this topic. But yes it will do you just fine! Good choice for a beginner!
As MP said... GEAR IS VERY IMPORTANT! You can't afford a bike if you can't afford the proper gear for riding!!!!!
