If you don't mind learning to do most of your own maintenance, you can get a motorcycle for not that much more than a new bike these days. Especially, if you're willing to shop for parts at swap meets and trade work for parts. I forget which channel it was, but I saw one where they got all their necessary gear and the motorcycles for under $2k. And it may have been $1k. IIRC, it was the motorcyclist magazine channel.

That wallet looks dope! I’m getting one. Great job on the sponser tie in. Very authentic and It didn’t seem forced or awkward. Gotta say man, I was all on the Yammie hate train but when the whole GA/TX motovlog clique started picking on you after your crash I unsubscribed from them. What a terrible thing to do to one of our fellow motobros just because said motobro makes “list” videos. Which are highly entertaining and quite informative. Better than their click-bait crap. You know, the videos where the title references one topic which takes 2 mins to cover, but the video is a 10 min video of useless bs. Love ya, Papa Yam. Glad you didn’t change for anyone, and continued to get better. You do you.

My exception to the whole used helmet rule is someone I know sold me an AGV GP tech 5-continents for $75 dollars because he up and quit when his best friend died on a ride with him. He’s worn the helmet for a long time and maybe dropped it from his hand once or twice. I wear the shit out of this helmet for casual rides. I changed out the padding inside and got a new visor and the helmet is amazing, super vented, super light carbon fiber shell, I just love it.

Lol you got an old motorcycle.. That's why it was cheap, not because you snagged a "deal" lol. And $5000 will put you well over the 100 HP mark with supersports. My Yamaha FZ6 makes close to 100 HP with an exhaust.

I got a Shoei RF-1200 with a photochromatic lens as my first helmet. Yeah, I had to save up almost $600 but saved about $150 by not getting a helmet with graphics on it (went with matte black). It cost a lot but it's the only helmet I have/need. The lens changes tint based on the light so I never need to switch out visors plus it has a pinlock so it never fogs up. The vents and visor work well sitting straight up and in a tuck also. I ended up saving money in the long run by not needing to buy 4 different cheap helmets with 2 sets of light and dark visors. Plus comfort IS a part of safety. If you're comfortable then you pay more attention to the road and not to your discomfort.

I figured i just had to comment on buying a used bike. I grew up a car guy and let me tell you ALL of it transfers. If you want a cheap ass bike and it runs well, might be a good buy. Just depends on what you want. I know from the car game that projects are an endless abyss that you throw money down. If you want a project to have fun and make memories with this might be your best bet. I had an 09 Ninja 650 as my first bike that ran well but i put work into until i was satisfied. I broke even selling it to a friend. Fast forward 2 years later to now i got into riding again and bought a “running” 99 gsxr 600 for 800. About 400 bucks later runs phenomenally. If you love a fun project and have the know how, you can easily justify it.

At about time 4:50 there was talk of carbon fiber helmets . Over the years I've only once seen a photo of a motorcycle helmet with an "Aluminum Shell". It was a happy story in an American motorcycle magazine from back in the eighties of a father and son that had started their own business . They produced just under 1000 units, but for some reason no more . Do you know of any other aluminum helmets ? Why do you think that the market place doesn't have any ?
