Hello All,

I'm someone who has always enjoyed my time on dirt bikes and recently after not riding for 4 years I wanted to get something along the lines of a Honda CRF300L. For informational purposes, I am in the U.S. and have ridden dirt bikes once or twice a year since I was little. I am thinking of getting my motorcycle endorsement and buying gear and a smaller dual-sport motorcycle, something I could take on the highway if I need to but mostly stuck to smaller slower roads and trails.

I am 6 feet 200 pounds, male, 21 years old, and not in altogether awful shape but not very athletic.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of good gear that won't break the bank or my spine and maybe some motorcycle recommendations.
