If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Harden up!
Not everyone new to the apparently complicated task of buying a helmet is an idiot, but if they want to buy a half stoved in helmet secondhand like you would have as a noob by what you're saying, good luck to them, otherwise there is nothing wrong with buying someones unwanted, new and not fitting helmet secondhand.
More and more are bought in from Revzilla and the like where you lose more sending it back than you do flicking it on for a loss locally.
Talk about cotton wool wrapping...and yet you all complain about it.
And yes, Drew summed up what I was trying to say a lot better than I did. I quoted something before with the sharp rating which alluded to that.
Bottom line - Just buying from a store doesn't get you something awesome. Spending a decent amount of money doesn't always get you something decent. Not all secondhand helmets are actually secondhand in the sense you think.
I think I got an offer to go fisting, or for some fisting, or to fist myself. I only have small girlish hands, so either way it could be worse. Upside I might find some lost car keys or forgotten chicken wing. I'll let you know. Giggidy.

Hey, welcome to the world of motorbikes!
I did my basic handling in Hamilton but I'm sure that there will be similar organisations in Auckland where you can do the test on THEIR bikes.
I only brought a helmet and wore generally sturdy clothes (jeans, sneakers, jacket and bicycle gloves) to the test.
Doing the test made me realize that the GN125/GN250 bikes that the riding school provided were waay to tame for what I wanted in a bike.
Once I had my learners license I took my time to test ride a range of bikes and pick up cheap bike gear along the way until I found what I wanted.
A helmet is obviously key so are gloves and a jacket, bike shops will often give you a deal on pants when you get jacket and gloves, if not jeans will do if you are sticking to 50k zones.
If you have sturdy leather boots they may be suitable, but proper boots generally provide more support against ankle injuries - also think about how fast you will be going here.
If you want to go for rides in the countryside I would get all the gear.
I bought a Suzuki GSX250 Invader which after three months is already starting to feel a bit tame (riding a MV Agusta F4 1000R kinda broke me) so definitely go for a bike that's a bit more powerful than you feel comfortable on when you are test riding.
Have fun out there!
But from a scooter, a GN250 is plenty. I've known people to go right through til full license on a GN250.
Power means very little to a complete new comer. Making presumptions here, she won't be speeding, she will be a slow cautious rider afraid of crashing, she won't get a GN250 to full speed ever, she won't go full throttle for at least a month, if not longer, and even then, it will be a rush for her.
The important thing is to get out there on a bike, see if she enjoys it, and don't spend too much money unnecessarily.
best advise I can give you - don't take advise off this site
There are so many on here who think they know everything, others have a go at knowing everything
I have seen the worst advise and best advise on here and unless you know the difference - I would dump the whole lot, join a local scene and get some advice from a bike shop or family - but not here
Live long and prosper ……………… or ride a motorbike
