I mean how many times do you think someone went out with no motorcycle experience and bought a Ninja250 or even a SV650(Instead of the Gixxer600/750/100). And at the same time bought some Dainese leather pants, jacket, Boots, Gloves, Arai, and then took the MSF course both beginner and advanced before hitting the streets.
Most people start out with a helmet becuase they have to and that's it. I started with nothing but a helmet. But I did have goals of eventually getting atleast a Textile jacket as soon as I could(Which I did). That took a month.
Now all I need is some riding boots which is next on my list and I'll be fully geared and possibly trackday ready.

My riding progression: Full gear on a TTR125 for a day. Full Gear for the MSF. Full gear for a couple hundred miles local, Full gear for my first track day, full gear for all riding after that.
