Hi Terri, glad to see you getting into two wheelers!

I'm gonna (predictably) cut across the grain a bit though. If you are brand new to bikes, I would suggest starting with basic protection from the elements and road rash, full face helmet at a minimum and add gloves/coat/boots/pants. I have gone entire winters with just a basic helmet and winter coat/gloves. I do have a snowmobile shield on my helmet though and it helps keep it from fogging up. I want you to enjoy riding without making it dependent on sorting something like this out. Simple riding gear can solve the all weather problems.

I definitely like to see more done with streamliners, but bikes are a pleasure all the same (and you have a learning curve ahead of you that you need to survive).

+1 cbr250.
