do you like how they fit raul? i really like the design on the speed demon. i want something snug fit not like hjc which will come off my head if i go more than 100mph.

im gonna try one at the local dealership to see how they are. i might have to get one soon.

I like the VR2, but the new VR2 changed a bit. You have to just try them... we all got diff melons.

i've got the kbc reaper helmet, and it's good...it's light as hell and comfortable to boot....only problem that i had(as well as a friend who also has a kbc gunslinger) is that they really have a break in...i expect a helmet to break in after a few hundred miles, but this one got a lil too loose...only time it bothers me though is when i'm doin over like 110 and i'm not fully tucked...just my .02

thats the problem i might have about the helmet, when they get loose and thats what my problem is now with my hjc helmet (i picked up a large coz i was a newb back then).

b16sleeper, how loose did they get? did anyone else wear the helmet? that might have been a problem.

ill look around ebay for a good price. so far ive seen the cheapest at ebay for 120-130... anyone else knows where i can get them cheaper?

I would really like to get shoeis but thats way out of my budget.

I've got a couple KBC helmets and like them for the fit and feel BUT, the Force RR is a little noisy at higher speeds and the VR2 is very noisy at higher speeds and dries out my contacts.

If you don't wear contacts, you will be fine with the VR2 model, otherwise I would stear clear of that model. I didn't have any problems with the Force RR model

it loosened up to a comfortable fit, but maybe just a lilttle bit more than i expected...i still like the fit though, just not at over 110+mph w/out a double bubble...or it'll be smushed in ur chin.....


also gotta agree w/ the green goblin...my vr2 dries my contacts out sometimes...but only wen it's cold outside, and in all fairness, that happens in my car also when it's cold out...
