Is a Honda Rebel a good beginner's bike?

I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle, and I have no previous experience, so jumping on a Harley isn't the first thing I'll do.

Is the Honda Rebel a good choice? It's cheap, around $4000 new, and runs 84 miles to the gallon. Seems like a good choice to me. Any experience.

Also, when it comes to safety gear, what do you guys use to drive around town? I am in college, and wearing a full blown leather suit is kinda impractical. Is gloves, a helmet and a leather jacket good enough? For riding around campus and to and from campus I won't hit high speeds anyways.

Any comments appreciated
