I've had one of these for a couple of years. Very light, looks great when clean...

What price the Bell?

OW!!!! That Bell looks the dogs danglies but I don't think that I'll get one as my next lid. HJC HQ-1 like mine, £280 RRP although shopping around can get much closer to £200. HJC also have a new carbon lid with a built in sun visor for under £300.

Buy some helmet polish (e.g. Crystal-Glo) to polish up your lid to keep the carbon fibre looking sexy

The guy that sold it to me said that bell helmets are quite rare - i dont know if this is true but guess this one being limited edition is pricey. The visor is included in the price - them alone are £75 "apparently".

Thanks for the tip bout the helmet polish..... nothing wrong with keeping your helmet clean lol!!

Oh and it is for the VFR for next month when i get my restriction off and get to ride a fullll pooooooower bike Woooo!!!

I am a tad jealous, the carbon/gold look would go luvly wid me black/gold striple! That is very nice but theres no way i coulda payed that much for a lid! (reason being at the time id spent more than planned on bike + extras

)

i brought the lazer fiber pro light and am very happy, similar to the above really jus diff brand for jus £250

EDIT: would like the new HJC tho as the built in sun-visor is very handy as we are getting less and less sunshine (having to remove my dark tint visor too much these days)

It is expensive i know but you only live once so what the hell lol!! As well as it being limited edition, Carbon Fibre and a Bell lid that is why its the price it is i guess. It is a real quality item theres zero wind noise, ventilation is great, no fogging up at all, and really does feel like im not wearing a helmet as its that light!

Cheers
