Laws vary stat by state, country by country, so what laws sand here may be different...
In fact, I myself have been looking into motorcycles, and my girlfriend was also concerned about my safety and whatnot, but after talking, we're both at ease. Just make sure he knows that a car is much, much more practical. Really, he ought to get a car first, a crappy one if need be, and then get the bike. A car is all weather for the most part, a motorcylce is very limited and exceedingly dangerous when compared to a car.
This is the bike I'm getting, in black... All hail the crotch rocket!
