Buying a motorcycle soon, what basic gear to buy?

i am going to buy a honda cb400 for about $3000 soon enough, any tips on what to buy? Hope it wont cost more than $1500. I live in the philippines,but, i'd be willing to go to other countries to buy my gear e.g. Japan.
ive been thinking of going to japan to buy a shoei x12 and other gears, it costs about $500 in the us/aus but its only $300 in japan. I could use the extra $200 to spend a night in japan.
so what should i buy? And where would it be feasible to buy?
is a shoei x12 okay? Are leather over-pants better than kevlar jeans? Or should i wear kevlar pants under leather over-pants? If so what leather over-pants are there to buy? What brand of jackets should i buy?
dianese, alpine stars? What boots should i buy? Gloves? Would i need a neck brace? What about armor?
my main concern would be safety, rather spend cash to be safe, than spend cash to be healed.
cheers!
