mm, im potentially a newb rider, wondering if i could get some questions answered?
thinking of getting a suzuki sv 650:

first off, would that bike, in your guys opinions, be a good starting bike? also, where/what kind of instruction would i want to take prior to getting a bike.
ive been mulling it over for some time now, obviously there are risks with riding. actually if anyone has any advice on what some high quality protective gear is, id be all ears. if feasible, id go for kevlar all around.. is there much of a safety increase from that over an old school heavy leather jacket? obviously full-face helmet, gloves, boots..
aside from the fun factor, seems as though gas would be infinitely more economical, and what sort of driving (mostly low-volume country, some city) id be doing would be equally suitable.
if anyone has any thoughts, id be much obliged to hear them
