I paid 250, and it was a unique experience to say the least.
Did I overpay?
I'm picking up a used 600, however, wondering what gear to get, brand etc?
thanks

 

I paid around 200, it just depends where you live. For gear depends how much you want to spend. Helmets you can look at Shoei, Arai, Suomy, HJC. Jacket, gloves, boots and etc. you can check out Alpinestars, Joe Rocket, Icon, Teknic, Dainese, Sidi and the list goes on.

 

I took the msf course for 150 at cerritos college. And for helmet I haven't bought one yet. I bought a icon jacket for 140

 

I just finished the msf course like 2 weeks ago, its so much fun man. I payed $150 for the class cuz im under 21, If your 21+ its $98. I also payed $130 for my helmet and mirror sheild. http://www.Helmetharbor.com
cheap prices all around.

 

$40 baby!! gotta love ohio!!


search online for a nice helmet, remember it will save your skull.

i know suomy makes some really nice ones, along with arai, and shoei, but try to find something that fits nice. i know you can fin da lot of good deals on the internet, but can't stress enough to try it on, at a store or shop. You don't want to wear a helmet that doesn't fit you right, and you need to wear your helmet. good luck!

As far as helmets go I wear a Shoei X-11. Light, great ventilation, and looks that kill:



I recommend Dainese for a jacket. They are pricey but you pay for what you get, great protection, quality craftsmanship, excellent fit and finish:



I got these alpinestars gloves and they are great for everyday riding as they are comfotable as all hell, however they are not a gauntlet style glove and therefore sacrafice some protection for comfort. I will be upgrading as money permits:

for lids.. make sure you get a good one.. that is the primary protection on a bike... cant protect the head enough man.. dont cheap out on the lid..

as for other gear.. coats,boots, gloves..
i reccoment alpinestar... great gear..great prices...

make sure though you at least got a coat and helmet.....

I got the SP2 Alpinestar gloves.. they are awesome.. great quality, great look.. not too badly priced either..

as for a lid i got 2 HJC's and a Shoei.. the Shoei is sick.. I love it.. fits awesome.. and looks killer..

for jacket i use Alpinestar.. great look.. good weight, phenominal protection..

boots i got Alpinestars... great boots.. a must for a sportbike..

 

275 for MSF course, she got some special deal for moto saftey awareness month

i paid 225 last year...

shoei helmet ro start, and just picked up an arai (for 100 bucks )

joe rocket jacket - icon superduty pants and SOON TO BUY SOME BOOTS

 

I think I paid like 70 or 80. It was a long time ago but in cali the government picks up part of the bill if you're not 21 yet since the msf is required to get your liscense. Otherwise i think its like 200.

 

i used joe rocket leather gloves, my hjc helmet, and a joe rocket jacket with army issue boots

i paid nothing for the course
free in PA!

 

HA 25 bucks in MI no matter what your age is!

 

I paid 150 for my MSF.

I would just get decent gear but not really pricy(i.e. HJC helmet, textile jacket).

 

MSF was 300+ here.

You can't get "ripped off" because the price varies from state to state depending on how much funding they get from that state.

 

MSF course here(FL) for me when I was under 21 was $190 I think.Got my 600rr two weeks later for $9500 OTD,also got Joe Rocket Textile $200ish, shoei rf-1000(blue zemke) for $400,Alpinestars Ice leather jacket (black an silver) $280,got a pair of Joe Rocket gloves and the factory seat cowl tossed in by the dealer on my bike.Next on my list is Sidi or Alpinestar boots.
