    KBC vs HJC

    OK, I'm looking at a HJC AC11 or a KBC VR1, anyone have a preference or any feedback? They look pretty similiar and look to be about the same price (around $450)

    I like the shiney one.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    nice, thanks guys for the great input, maybe I should just put up a poll?
    Out of curiosity WT, what price do you guys do them for?

    You can get a Shoei Raid for $500 these days. Only $50 more.

    Haven't heard much about those brand's . You could get a Shoei for around that price Quaility & Safety guaranteed . Try all brand's before you buy ,as some fit way better than other's & are a lot quieter to . Own 3 Shoei's as they in my opinion are the best !! Sensei

    $425 depending on the colour scheme for the HJC and we aren't KBC stockists so I'll check and let you know tomorrow.

    I thought they were too, until a respected authority said otherwise.
