im currently in the market for a new, quality helmet. price is not an option, but i dont wanna pay alot if its only for replica decals. i want whatever is supposed to be the best. protection-first. comfort-second. looks-third. anyone have a lid that they would recommend?

i've got an hjc, arai, and shoei (2)... and by far my favorite are shoeis. they just fit my funny looking head better! lots of quality lids out there... just gotta try some on to see which fits your head best. good luck!

I have a shoei Rf-1000 Diablo 2 TC-5 and an Arai Signet Squandra GT and both the helmets I have now are very confortable. Ive had many different makes and models of helmets over the last 15 yrs. My opinion is that unless you have an over large ego you dont need a $600 replica helmet. Price/Quality/style in the equation of purchasing helmets you cant go wrong with Shoei, Arai, Suomy, etc.... Brand new/retail your looking at $300-400 for like a new arai quantum or shoei X11 series helmet depending on where you get it. Do you really need a new helmet, a used helmet will do just fine until you find one that you really like. You can find helmets on auction sites for half the price with minor nicks on them and what not. Just a consideration.

thanks for the responses. and renegade, i currently have 2 street helmets (one hjc and one kbc). im in the market for a new helmet and was just curious as to what people had and what they recommended. does anyone know of any articles from magazines where they tested many different helmets?

hey, check out OGK, they have the FF4 on clearance...200 bucks!
just do a search for OGK and the company will come up!

You've come to the right place my friend....Scorpion is what you want! Excellent helmet with awesome amenities at a price so low you think you are ripping off the dealer. Check it out....

I had an HJC and now I've got a Scorpion. There was more comfort in the HJC to me, because Scorpions run small, but I like it and it offers better protection. My man has an Arai.
