I had the 'old school' white Bell helmet back in the 70's. Loved it. Other than it made me look like a stock car or dragstrip racer....

HDDyna2006 is right, I have a H-D one I bought 13 years ago and I look like "the great Gazoo" from the Flintsones with it on. Well you will look like a dick with it on but your ears will stay warm.

I have tried on true retro helmuts where they take older helmuts fromt he 70's and redo the inside but they are uncomfortable to say the least. I think what you are looking at is a new helmut made to look old with paint...
