Re clothing, if you're starting out I think a jacket is definitely somewhere you can save money. There are always loads second hand - people on here may even have old spare ones they don't need. Even NOS often gets heavily reduced, so there really is no reason to spend much if you're on a budget.
The returns policy on sports bike direct is excellent so they are the go-to if you want to try loads of kit mail order.
I'd probably suggest poneying up for decent gloves from a shop. I've wasted loads on budget gloves. Measurements are never consistent enough, batches can vary so even two pairs of identical gloves can fit differently ime.

This. I mostly wear a pair of Revit Sand 4 gloves and wanted to try a pair of their waterproof version, Sand 4 H20, recently. XXL is perfect for me in the ones I own but I hadn't a hope of fitting into the H20 version. They were so far off I'm reluctant to chance ordering XXXL ones as they didn't have them in stock at my local dealer...

Hey folks, I have been restoring/building a 85 CD125T over the summer and have my CBT booked in for the end of the month which is exciting!
Just wondering if there are any 'budget but good' clothing brands out there. Im new to the motorbike world but excited to get the bike built and ready for some rides!
