Get the best helmet you can afford, it's the one thing that really needs to fit and be comfortable. Have a look at the Sharp rating for any helmet you look at. Also look at reviews for how noisy the helmet is, as a noisy lid is a pain in the head.
As for the rest, whatever you buy, you'll replace with newer gear anyway
I bought Alpinestars leather trousers off eBay 2nd hand and in great condition, I also bought one of those cheap jackets of Amazon, which I replaced with an Alpinestars one very quickly (the quality was bad).
I used the Infinity Motorcycles clearance warehouse for the boots, great pair of leather boots for £90.
Amazon got me some nice Richa leather summer gloves.
I've been riding since September and I've already spent more on kit.
2 pairs of jeans
Alpinestars textile trousers
Alpinestars leather jacket (eBay 2nd hand)
Richa winter gloves
Thermal glove liners
Neck tube x2
Balaclava
The list soon grows!
I now want a new lid, some waterproof gloves and waterproof boots, plus a new bike |
