    Well done pAceMaker!

    I know that feeling from recent experience...

    Take your time choosing a good bike - they are out there, let the right bike find you...

    Happy riding, and welcome to the KB gargre!

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Congrats matey, now ride safe ya hear!
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    That's more than enough to get a good RG150 and riding gear. Motomail are selling the HJC CS-12 helmet for $130, and then plan on spending around 300-600ish more on jacket, boots, whatnot.

    I think.

    Plenty enough. $1000 for gear , $2000 for bike, plenty of 250's around for that . What sort depends on whether you' ride for the sake of it, ride to get to work, or ride just to go as fast as possible.

    Remember there are other sorts of bikes beside commuters and sprotsbikes. Crusiers and tourers to name but two. Both of which are excellent for beginners: easy to ride, economical, powerful enough for open road yet not as uncomfortable (or as lethal) as sprotsbikes.
