helmet??
Was wondering what everybody is wearing for a helmet and how much you paid (safety first). I run KBC VR-2 dragon replica about $300. Dose anybody have this helmet model and what do you think of it?

Re: helmet??
im looking at the racer 1 because it mimics an arai and has the 3 safety standards but i dont want to look like im wearing a dam space helmet like the kbc predator. tried on a vr2 at cycle gear last week and its comfy as hell also gets pretty good reviews, vr1 kinda set the standard and the anticipated vr2 let the critics down as far as being a step up from the vr1 but none say much bad about it.

Re: helmet??
vr2 isnt a bad helmet at all. you can get them off ebay for like a hundred new. i have a vr2 and a suomy spec r1, the vr2 is cooler in the lots, the suomy vents alot better at speeds but its louder and in the lots it hot as *****
the vr2 feels like the weight of the helmet is better distributed on my head, but its not as comfy

Re: helmet??
I rock an old Shoei and have an Icon Alliance. The shoei is super comfy, the Icon is a little tight. I have a monster melon and have a hard time finding a helmet that is comfy. I've tried on a ton of helmets lately and the only ones that aren't painful are the Arai (RX7 and Profile, can't wear the quantum) and a Shark. The new Shoeis don't fit like the old ones. I need to find a Suomy to try on but I think I'll end up with a Arai RX7.

i paid $300.00 for shoei rf-1000 nerve. i have an older shoei too. im gonna get an arai because ever since i picked up the rf-1000 my face has been breaking out and it wont go away. i really like it except for the rash.
