Hi folks, thanks for all the replies.

Much appreciated.

Anyway got myself some motorcyclist starter pack (got some odd looks from shop when i told them I am bikeless lol):
Komine Half Mesh Jacket - since I think its nicely balanced and fairly price for what it is, and its white lol
Taichi mesh glove - not sure if not having slider on wrist side okay or not?
KYT TT Course - it felt the most comfy with glasses on and tried various brand and its red hope other notice me for safety
Falco boots - Since the place i went have clearance price and the price was okay for what I am getting (assuming it was properly made in italy lol), I think i need break in the shoe too hmm.gif

Currently still looking for mesh pants since the shop I went does not have the size I wanted, most likely getting matching Komine entry level mesh pants for a start. I guess after this things are more less sorted for a rider starter pack? confused.gif
I checked on my driving school and they are using Kawa Z650 as well as ER-6 for the litar part.
went to one of AD, got quoted extra 6K on top of RRP when I mentioned how much all in for cash purchase. Not sure what is it exactly but sure he was pushing me toward getting a bigger 800 CC bike as a starter bike  ohmy.gif Okay lah I sat on top pushing around seem ok but I have no confidence in handling such power. He looked sad when i told him my bajet is only toward 150-250 cc bikes rolleyes.gif
Thank for the recommendation and link, I have connected with him and he have shared his courses menu.
I actually am worried the 150cc bike would outgrow me as I ride more. I somewhat thinking for my budget I should look onto used D400 as starter bike since 250cc of major brand are out of reach of my budget.

Driving school using Z650, not sure if those used z650 worth buying?

how much was the damage for the gears?

I budgeted RM2.5K for essential item.
This includes the pants that I have yet to get it.
Not sure if it is considered normal but I just decide to go abit more on kit side just to protect myself
Sure I will get odd looks by others but they are not the one who is financing my bills if shit hits the fan

Most likely passed the exam I will upgrade to full gauntlet style glove, the one I got is just normal short glove that should be sufficient for city/general riding
I plan to visit motoword to have a look at this product in person
http://komineshop.shop21.makeshop.jp/shopdetail/000000009182
Not sure if they would have the size that fit me.
I hope the safety that came with the pants is adequate for the $ paid
I would give the test ride a pass, dont want to jatuh the bike icon_idea.gif
Dont mind go to see see look look to get general feel rolleyes.gif

this shopee shop is run by motoworld, if you can find your size here then the physical shop should have it
