Default Helmets

Looking for a new helmet...

I was wondering if anyone has ever worn the following:

-Suomy Gunwind
-KBC Racer-1

If so, what did/do you think about them?

They are not insanely expensive, yet seem nice.

Any info would be apprietiated.
Mike.

Holy shit, never have I seen such great prices on Shoei helmets!:o

Okay well, the only reason I really didnt consider shoei helmets is because I thought Id have to pay atleast 400 for a nice one. There are nice ones on at this website for less than $300! Thanks Charles.

np dude..... thats where I got my ZII Shoei..... removable liner, etc. This helmet just feels SO much better on my head than the HJC I had. ..looked like they just had Shoei dropship it directly to me also so you'd probably get one quick

I'd swing by Barney's and try on the model you want to get first, then order online..... MY small shoei feels a little smaller than the small HJC I have.

Yeah, I bought two Shoei's from that site, got them pretty quick I might add. Now I boast both color Picotte helmets and a soon to be complete custom airbrushed "Joker" helmet. Now I just need to find some nice larger sized leather jackets.
