Can you wear dirt bike gear with a sport bike?

I'm getting a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 and I plan on going at freeway speeds often with it. I'm new to the motorcycle world. I was looking into gear online and I sort of like the look of the dirt bike gear better. Are they much different in regards to protection? Or is mixing dirt bike apparel with a sport bike just not done? lol
 
You can wear it, but it's not going to protect you if you hit the ground. Dirt bike apparel is designed for the dirt, and street gear is designed for the street. If you plan on getting on the freeway with a 250, you definitely need more protection than dirt bike gear provides.

Hopefully, when you say freeway, you are not referring to the interstate highway system. A 250 really doesn't have enough power to be safe on the interstate.
 
i mean, its says dirt bike....i think the 250R is a sport bike so u might want to stick in that category lol...but im sure the protection does vary.
