So.

Im lookin for a new helmet. I've liked the designs and leight weight of most of the SUOMY's and the price in not an issue for me.

I just want to know how the quality is. they aren't a brand im too familiar with such as bell, arai, shoei, hjc etc..

But im also lookin at the SHOEI X-11 Kiyonari edition. Its a little bit cheaper and I've owned a few SHOEI's before this. so please let me know.

Thanks,
Adam

 

Suomy, A#1 good stuff !!!!!!!!!! In the top 4. Whant the insider, on suomy???? call New enough leather.com and ask to talk to there helmet guy... factory suomy rep for 7 years, knows his stuff. they do have a paticular "fit", as all helmets do... try a friends on.
Clean and free, Ripp'n

 

they're good helmets if they fit you. i would try them out first. good quality. they're BSI right? if so, they're just as good if not better than SNELL.

 

Sorry to dissapoint. But on my lunch break just now I decided to buy the following:

Nicky Hayden Race repl. from Champion Motorcycles in Newport

Guy gave me 20% off. good guys there.

Go with Arai, best on the market. You won't be disappointed.

 

there's no such thing as the best helmet on the market. just like there is no best bike on the market. they all cater to different tastes and people. an arai head may never like a shoei because of fit. just like a shoei head may not ever fit an arai. does that make one helmet better than another? no. i had an arai and i didn't like it. ended up trading for a shoei. doesn't mean i think shoei is better.

 

and a butthead will never fit anything not built for a kling on!

hey mang...you local! should've gone over to mach 1 and try and hit them up for same stuff but lower price!

 

well I was already over there to order a part and they had that helmet in stock. So i bought the hayden laguna helmet and ordered the jacket while I was there. Either way Mach 1 or champion would have to order the jacket and i'd still have to wait 3-4 days for it to get here.

I did goto mach 1 before i went over there to check it out. pretty cool little place they have there. Talked to the owners wfe *little asian woman* for a couple minutes. cool buncha people there.

Not sure how often you go there but they have like 25-30% off tires right now, and they have quite a nice selection to choose from. just FYI.

Are you in Tahoe or are you in socal? I work off superior and 15th street. 1 block down from mach 1.

 

i think their tires are always 25-30% off hahaha...and if you get work done, for you, he'll take 15% off. it's a mach 1 thing. if you've been there, you would laugh.
