I reckon street fighter helmets are fuken mean!!

So I wana see if I can get one for a good deal...

Anyway... My question was, does anyone know how it feels like at high speeds? Also do they have any known common faults in them?

Cheers

Are these the 'drag' style helmets with the protruding snout/chin piece ?

If so MR, ask "The Yoshie" another KBer, he wears one.

It sounds silly but I feel like I literally can't ride good with out ear plugs now...

Yea, if they fail me in scrutineering, I have a cheap $100 helmet still in the box (unopened) for racing...

Jason at (09) 8131366 imports those and other streetfighter stuff (just happen to know 'cos I bought some bits and pieces off him recently). They're about (???) $600 from memory. He's also got an awesome GS1200ss streetfighter he was looking for a buyer for...was tempted but (a) poverty and (b) my shrinking violet nature deterred me....

Cheers for that, I know Jason. He's got some pretty wacky cool bikes in his shed.

If I get it, I'll be getting it from a mate who is an importer himself.

MR use your shitty $100 helmet for racing, saves replacing a $600 if anything happens,
