Watch out for ulez if you’re in London. Not sure an old cb600f will be compliant.
The protection you buy depends on what you want. I bought a held yugusa suit 1st as it was about he beat you could buy. A mate for Scott leather to make him custom. I also now own a hein gericke forested pro textile suit I paid £200 for off eBay. But whatever it is, make sure you get a CE2 back protector.
If you’re riding for fun, get leathers and yes lots of second hand on eBay.
But helmet go to a big motorbike shop, blindfold yourself and try them all. Then buy the one that fits best and is 4-5star sharp. I have a shoei head.
And while you’re there, try on leathers from different brands. Then you’ll now what size you are for buying on eBay. 2 piece is more practical.
