Default My new bike



2006 hayabusa.

What are your thought's on a black bike, black racing suit and gloves and a colorfull helmet?
Does it match, does it look rediculous?

I kind of like this one
,
this one


I also kind of like the "matte finish" in black




Or should I be just like everyone else and get one that matches?

I think either way you'd just look like one giant black blur. ;D

But I am partial to the Shoei.

Im a big fan of being as bright as possible so people dont run their car into me but if you like black on black go for it

My next helmet is going to look like a hi-lighter!

That being said I wouldnt call any of these helmets "bright"

I'm buying two helmets.

This one for sure.



and it's between this one



and this one





To much yellow with an all black bike and black racing suit?

If anyone is looking for a helmet you should def check out http://www.compacc.com. Last years cl-14 and cl-15's are $60-$80 (I spent almost $200 for my cl-14 Kast three years ago) and last years $450-$470 shoei's are $270-$300 shipped. This year's shoei helmets that are 2010 Snell certified list for $500. They sell them for $320-$350. You have to have them e-mail you their "best price" since they are to low to list.

I agree with Hang.... having started with an HJC and moved to an RF1000, I'll say that the Shoei just blows it out of the water. Were it me, I'd just be trying to figure out if I wanted to shell out the extra clams for the RF1100.
