man seriously if this is your first bike BUY A PIECE OF SHIT! reason being is your gonna wreck it. i am not trying to be a dick but it happened to me and probally everyone else on here (whether they admit it or not) buy a beater or another good and fun way is learn in the dirt. but if you must run on the street get a helmet and a f'ed up P.O.S. a jacket is not a bad idea. when ya get a bike ride solo for a few months(so no one sees you bite it)
