lots of options
my bmw (schuberth) sport integral helmet cost £150, but you can get a decent arai or shoei for the same price I would have thought.

There's a lot of decent helmets available around that price. If you shop around you might be able to find a Shoei Raid II for around that sort of money. Cheaper lids should still offer the same levels of protection, but might not have the same level of fit & finish that a Shoei or Arai do.

kool so these are the good makes i take it Shoei and Arai

Dave20046 · 29-05-09, 08:35 AM

yup arai, shoei, schuberth -trying to think of any others I like (drawn a blank)

Most important thing is that it fits really well though, google/youtube search how to checka helmet fits. I think one of the uk arai distributors have quite a few vids on youtube linked with MCN.

i think they start at £199, but may be on sale somewhere

i saved £150 by getting mine online

rossi thinks so

TBH you need to try them on, and not worry about the make too much,

i had my heart set on a AGV rossi lid, but it did not fit me.

i tried quite a few and found arai the best fit (for me)
