I dig the KBC with the black star. I wanted to get one but by the time I had money I found out they unfortunately dont sell it anymore. | |||

  The RF-1000 is what I wear 99% of the time.  I'm keeping an eye on Akuma for my next helmet..  | |||

Sorry about the comsmo fellas! Its the lady friends. Anyways, I have only owned KBC and HJC helmets. I think HJC is made a bit better but KBC designs are always top notch. I would love to try a shoei or an icon but I have a hard time dropping 300 plus on a helmet. | |||

I have a hard time dropping less than 300 on the thing protecting my head when it drops onto pavement...YMMV though. Scorpion EXOs are a good balance IMO. Mine is currently an Arai though...got a sweet deal from a parts person I know. | |||

Remember, just because it costs more doesn't always make it better. | |||

Very true -- I am more interested in the certifications and the ergos. I wouldn't actually recommend an Arai these days since they haven't really made an improvements, its still a top quality helmet but others have caught up in the last few years. That's why I say Scorpion -- meets both Euro and US standards, decent price, good venting and ergos even in their entry EXOs...YMMV though. | |||
| Dentguy |
...but others have caught up in the last few years. So true. Years ago seemed like everybody had Arai or Shoei. Lots of other, quality choices out there now. | |||

Scorpion EXO is a great helmet for the price, but to some extent you get what you pay for. My biggest gripe with my Scorpion is the notches that I can't just open the visor a crack for a bit of ventilation. The first notch holds it open more than I would like. For the price difference from an Arai I can deal with that. I do wonder by just how much a helmet "meets or exceeds" a given standard though. It would be more informative to have a rating scale rather than a pass/fail standard. | |||

Sifo, Here is some different testing results on some helmets (UK). Don't know much about it, but check out the Buell results. http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/search/results/?sort=ma nufacturer&dir=asc&manufacturer=0&model=0&type=0&r ating=0&size=0&price=0&x=37&y=9 | |||

 The SCU and I are attending the 2009 Porsche Launch this morning . . . . I've convinced her that she is the "color consultant". Think these will help?  | |||
| Sifo |
Dentguy - Thanks for the link. Exactly what I had in mind. Still not much detail, but far more information than simply meeting a minimum standard. Certainly shows that you don't always get what you paid for. Also some pretty cheap helmets score quite well. | |||
