^ Word, 140hp, in a shitty frame, with even shittier brakes sure makes for a great starter bike.

i plan on buyin some leather pants or a leather suit soon,
but right now when i ride is helmet, gloves, jacket (back protector, shoulder protectors, elbow and forearm protectors are with the jacket), riding boots and jeans.
unfortunately i dont have leather pants but i have knee and shin guards i wear if im goin far distance (ie. highway riding or sorts)
thanks for buying some gear, sure is comforting to know fellow riders are understanding that asphalt + speed = brutal and very bloody accidents. Too many people think that accidents cant and dont happen to them, and that just drives me up the wall.

personally suomys and arai helmets are more noisy than shoei's.
Suomy has many different lines. The Vandal series are quite quiet, incomparison to their Extreme series. Their Extreme series are extremely loud, so much that you may as well be not even wearing a helmet.
Also, people should read up on the differences between BSI certification and Snell certification. I can go into that now, but its almost 10pm and I have to be up in 5 hours, so I wont. But perhaps I'll digress on that later.
