Also use this site: http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/to check the safety rating & crash test performance of your potential lid. I noted, for example, my '07 Arai Chaser got 3 stars & average front + crown protection.
I got me the Caberg V2R lid, cheapest 5 star rated (on sharp website) helmet I could find around at the time ($495). Expensive, but I didn't feel comfortable learning on a motorbike without good gear. Only problem is that it likes to be quite noisy at 100km/h, though ear plugs definitely help a lot
It's the one they sell on www.qmoto.co.nz managed to even get a green and black one to match my ninja![]()
Try them all to find one that suits your head shape. And remember you get what you pay for
