Man... what a neat first bike/scooter/whatever! Bit of a rarity.
I'm pretty sure E2 certification is fine in NZ. At any rate, I doubt you'd ever get picked up for it -- unless it blatantly looked illegal, like one of those imperial german helmets or whatever. Roof Boxer is a full-face, so I'm sure you'll be sweet.

Pretty cool looking helmet that Roof Boxer. Funny name though...

No cop ever is ever going to check to see your helmet is the right one.

Was a well respected scoot in the day, too.

That would be a 250 twin? Also came out as a BSA Sumbeam.

Tigress was a 250cc 4 stroke twin, yep. Fast , over 70mph, but not too reliable, even by the standards of the day. From memory they had some weird carb, that noone could ever get right. For some reason the Brits always seemed to go apeshit with carbs on their small bikes, fitted weird incomprehensible untunable things.
I thought the Sunbeam had a 175 two stroke engine from the BSA Bantam, with the same body as the Tigress.
But there was a Triumph Tina , too. Can't remember much about that.

I got a boxer - great concept - not carried off very well.
Bit noisy, fogs up a bit and the press studs to secure the chin piece are a bitch. Bloody good looking llid though and quite comfy.

Hi Draig, I'm trying to figure it out from the picture. Does the chin & visor section do a complete rotate up and over the back to become an open face helmet? If so what's it like to ride with it up?
No matter what that is one seriously good looking jetfighter styled helmet.
Are they available in NZ?
So many questions, so little time. How about some pictures of it in various stages.

Man, you are too square.

I looked into these a while ago. Got put off by a couple of bad reviews.
As far as I know no-one sells them in NZ.
