What year is this Arai?

[Bytor]

seen this in turdme and I can't find a ref to what year it's from. The dude selling it reckons it's never been worn and was a present from Dec 04. Also reckons he can't find a build date on the inside.

It's a Arai Astro

Looks like a Condor to me.

[edit] Looks like a 2004 Astral Star Flag Silver, which is/was known as the Condor Star Flag in other markets. Paid $1150 for my Star Flag Condor in blue in 2004

Go to this (http://www.araiamericas.com/Archive.html#) website and search the 2004 archive and go to Astral, Star Flag, Silver.

Cheers OAB spot on:done:

Arais have date codes on them, trying to remember if sticker on the back or labels inside or both.

A present?! - pull the other one. Who buys a $1100 helmet for someone who doesn't use it?

If it has the box & is clearly unused it was stolen from a shop, if it just looks new it isn't but was stolen in a burg.

Well just it sounds dodgy doesn't it? unwanted present is a EMINIM T shirt or a Vase from aunt Berl (have a vase that fits that category, maybe I should Tme it?) But an Arai? [insert Tui add]

[onearmedbandit]

Apparently it's a present given to his mum by his aunty in Australia who is a dealer.

Is selling an RJ's Jacket too
another unwanted gift... I want an Aunty like that!!!!
I mean... I dont think a plastic tissue box with a mirror would fetch much on tard me :laugh:
bout the extent of the 'unwanted' stuff I get lol

[F5 Dave]

So his Aunty is a Dealer? the plot thickens, - associates with known Criminals, she probably sells P to little kiddies.
-oh, not that kind of dealer. . .

Well I believe his story:mellow:

So it only cost her say $700, when did your aunt last buy your mum a $700 present she didn't ask for or want.
& as a woman she would never have bought another woman a size above XS. There probably isn't a woman in the world who would take a Large helmet.

Arais do have date stickers.

Methinks dodgy. Only buy this if you don't believe in karma......

[bistard]

Arais, from memory, have the date stamp on one of the chin straps

Yeah I once got from my stepmother when they returned from Raro or Fiji or somewhere a shiny silver jacket with Porsche (some sort of stretched VW I understand) written down the side.

I mean c’mon. Silver? But more so I was into bikes bikes bikes. Why buy me something with a car written on it?
Oh the scarring. . .

yes they do its on one side of the chin strap, near where it attaches to the shell of the helmet.

Hey Dave, you're the bidder aren't ya, just trying to throw the rest of us off the scent of a bargain!
Seriously though I hear you, does sound impausable but then again it could be a bargain......
