read gear 101 your going to spend at least 500 for your gear. BMX and Mountain bike are way different from motorcycles. Take the class, ride, then insureance. Get a bike thats 600cc or lower. Dumb riders to me are riders who just wear a tshirt and short while they ride. Drivers there are some dumb drivers but you cant blame them all the time. Most of the time they cant see us. You will learn to avoid cars and other things in the class.. well the video

yzf600r is a great beginner bike, 3,000 is good as long as its in decent condition

agreed its a good price, and i also rode with this guy who had a yzf600r yesterday and it was his first bike, he said it was great and i thought it was a good setup for a beginner as well.
