Interesting name: New enough. I guess it means they sell discontinued items and not slightly used?

Wife and I each got a Z1R FF modular....best fitting helmet for my melon and real good price. My HD dealership carries them so trying on was easy. I wouldn't buy any without trying on, or a purchase agreement that would let you send it back if it doesn't fit right. I've tried both Shoei and Arai and neither fit my head....either too loose or give me a headache.

Best advice you can take, is not to take much advice from an online forum for helmets.

Heads are shaped very different, and helmets are made to fit different shaped heads. The BEST thing you can do is to ride to every available bike shop and try on all the helmets and see what fits your head the best.

I bought this one for cold weather riding. I believe this helmet is made by HJC and is about $80-$100 less without the Harley sticker on it.
