Helmet weights

[Rashika]

But using the different helmets on similar bikes including naked bikes, the BMW helmet is totally superior....eg sustained speeds over 200kph on a Brutale no problemo !

I looked at the possibility of a BMW one but couldn't find a dealer at the time to try one on, and i wasn't going to buy one without trying so got the shoei instead. I did like the sound of them tho

Tne BMW dealers don't even stock them, mine came from Germany after I ordered it. If you see me round with it you can always try it on.

might just hold you to that, altho i have a small head, hense the reason i wanted to try the size first. But still be curious to see one...

Speaking as someone with a rooted neck, the new Shoei X Spirit is a big improvement on earlier models.
Weight alone, it was worth it, 1300 g I think ? $1200. !!!!!! Gaz.

Yep nice helmet i tried one on at haldanes and will be getting it out of the US for around $650NZ landed.

Well I had a very worthwhile trip to Auckland and I'm now the owner of a brand New Shoei Raid II

Money wisely spent.

yep definately, nice helmet and not too expensive

Its 100g lighter than the one I have now and alot better fitting also. Plus when I put it on I don;t feel the pressure on my neck like my old one. Yep VERY happy with it.

Got to ride to Napier tonight so that will be the test as to whether it will cause problems with my neck and I may have to look at a neck brace for another option, which I'm not too keen on.
