That accessory list...Wow. lol. I can understand for the helmet and shorts, i think those 2 are real important. I got my R500 Darcs from Sportsmans for like 4 years now with the different lenses, still happy with it...That would leave 2k to buy the next higher spec bike...the 2k could be the difference between getting a coil shock vs the next level, an air shock...Thats more important than the Oakley...As a newbie you go over the bars, face first and shove your 2.5k Oakley into your face when you could have had hydraulic brakes instead. lol #Eish

Marketing and real useful information seldom appear in the same propomotional piece .....

 

 

This is just pure marketing .... and not something I will ever forward to a newby.

First time bikers with Oakleys and a Camelback water bottle...and flat pedals.

 

Seriously????  Oli wrote this??

 

Nothing wrong with the flat pedals. That is about the only thing I agree with in that article.
