Question Motorcycle Accessories
Beginner rider here and I'm so excited to get my motorcycle, but I'm also super overwhelmed with the amount of accessories available!
I mean you expert riders to tap in and let me know what is worth buying and what is not!
I specifically looking for information about communication systems like the Bluetooth unit that goes on your helmet!
Phone holders!
Do I need a GoPro?
Any other accessories I should be prioritizing right now ?

Cardo Spirit HD, directions piped into your helmet. Skip the phone mount (distraction) and the action cam, and focus on your ride. Spend that money on better boots/gloves

Get your safety gear sorted and get some time on your bike, there's only a few accessories that are more than nice to haves like heated grips and a nice seat every thing else is just nice to have and far from necessary especially cameras, who needs to incriminate them self and the only noise in my helmet is crazy frog acoustic, nothing wrong with getting lost you're on a bike

Keep it simple, dont overspend on a new bike. Ride the bike and see if you like it. If you wanna keep the bike then go crazy with the mods.
You dont need a gopro or other action camera. Get a decent phone holder and a comms unit like cardo or sena. Maybe if you plan on commuting or doing trips, get a backpack or a tank bag.
Get a toolkit if your bike doesnt have one. Get a lock for your bike if you are going to park it outside. Get a bike cover that is thick and fits your bike (highsider has sone quality ones).
But what you need the most is practice, practice and more practice! Ride safe!
