I just purchased a blue Kawasaki Ninja 650r. I need to get some good gear. I am looking around at boots and riding shoes. I must say most of them look stupid. I want something that I can wear to ride the bike and not look weird wearing them after I ride it. I would like to wear some regular looking shoes. I would wear tennis shoes but dont think that is very safe. Anyone got recommendations of good riding shoes that dont look stupid? something that looks like a normal shoe? Thank you for helping me not look stupid.

Cool riding shoes... ain't the bike enough? I will always ride with race boots, even when I am wearing jeans (Draggin jeans lined with Kevlar) I wear race boots, mind you after a bad injury caused by another rider hitting me and almost smashing my foot up. If I were not riding with proper boots I dread to think about what would have happened.
I ride a red ZX9r and ride with black SIDI Vertigo (or how ever you spell it) if I am wearing race leathers or more casual bike gear, I have never had anyone look at me and say to me that my boots look stupid.
I know that SIDI do a street boot that do not look too "odd" rather than the full race boot. Personally because of experience and some of the inguries I have seen others have I would rather safety over something that "looks cool".

Try different bikes, go to dealers and sit down on the different sport bikes, find the one YOU really like.
However, not to be a drag, but if you have never ridden something with two wheels and an engine before, taking a motorcycle riding course, instead of just getting your temporary permit and jumping into the street with a R-class motorcycle would be a very very good thing for you.
For myself, I drove around on a moped for 2 years, then bought a GSX-R 600 as my first real motorcycle.
Just take it EASY in the beginning, try to keep out of first gear except for getting out of intersections, get to know the bike, don't corner too fast, accelerate too fast until you have a really good feel of the bike itself. These bikes are made for racing, and they will behave like wild animals if you let them.
Conclusion, choose the bike you really want, don't let anyone else tell you different, but make sure you know how to ride, take it slow in the beginning, and most importantly, use protective gear!! Helmet is absolutely mandatory, but a jacket, boots and gloves are also things that can save you a lot of pain.. (and use jeans or riding pants, not shorts or other thin garments).
