I was there yesterday, looking at gixer thous, trying (and failing) to talk myself into buying the K6 they had in. Didn't bother going upstairs though.

I'm thinking of getting an Arai Helmet are they worth paying the extra money for?

In my opinion yes, there build quality is superb and only comparable with Shoei. I have had three RX7's, both replaced due to an accident, and all three have been fantastic. The RX7 is the noisiest in the range, it has more vents, but ear plugs resolve any noise issues.

The most import thing is to buy a helmet that fits correctly, some people find Shark helmets fit better than any other and others find Shoei fit the best too.

OK, so they were all the same blue design but if you want blue then what a bargain.

Not 100% but I think this was the designhttp://www.rflintonandsons.co.uk/aca...20R2%20BLU.jpg

I looked at a £280 shoei the other day and the build quality didn't look much better than a nitro. My bmw one for £150 was miles better. I do like the shape of shoeis though.

My agv gp tech is so nice, i thought my hjc was good, then i got a shark. i was amazed witht tht now im even more amazed with my agv.

ive tried arai an they are nice but i find their colours horrible and not worth the money in my view. although ive spent nearly the same on the rossi agv :rolleyes:
