quoting the joker…
"u see,madness is like gravity,all u need is a little push"
and the consequences are that i am broke to the core..i do not have the finances to buy everything at the same time,dunno what to do..and i was liking the helmet that was the only reason,anyways since you guys are against it..i won't buy it..but i am in serious trouble,the bike is gonna be here any day,and the moolah is only going to come next month,i am in no condition to afford such expensive gear.
riding without the gear is a complete no no.
guys i just don't know what to do.

For the starters buy a helmet, and buy something that is not as costly as ARAI/SHOEI or too cheap, buy something which is good enough to protect you for now and can be used by your pillion later on, when you buy a costlier lid...
Example, Carbon fibre Helmets... they are very strong, very light weight...
Daijya Carbon fibre helmet 13k rupees...
LS2 Carbon fibre 10k rupees(in hyderabad, i gues you can get it for cheaper in bangalore or someother place)
Steel Bird Carb fibre helmet 8-10k rupees (Have read an article about it in xbhp sometime back)...

First of all congratulations on the bike.Assuming you have basic motorcycle riding time under your belt the only advice/suggestion i can give is Ride Ride Ride. Just ride as much as you can after you take delivery.The more you ride the more you going to get comfortable with the bike. Take it out in the evening through traffic , early morning bursts and soon you ll be at ease with the bike.Keep you right wrist in check and the bike will make sure she keeps you in check. As far as gear is concerned its an endless topic so pick what you like and that fits you well. Dont need to buy everything just yet. Get a good lid first of all. Slowly you can pick up the jackets/gloves/boots etc.

Congratulations Anurag for the R1. your wet dream is coming true.

As far as the gears are concerned I would suggest you to buy moderately priced good quality helmet. The jacket, gloves and knee pads can be bought from DSG under 10K in total.

All the best for the ride of a lifetime. Have a blast by riding faster but smoother and most importantly safer.

Good choice! Due to financial constraints for now,i guess this is your best bet.Light and does the job well.Looks cool too.

& Dont think so much for riding gear.Go with what you like and what fits well.Gear can be upgraded time and again.You yourself
have chosen your steed,so you can choose your gear.As far as its from a reputed manufacturer,you can go with what suits you
the best, according to your needs

The more you look and the more different people will advice,the more confusing it will get.
Remember - "Too many cooks,spoil the broth! "


Cheers.
