The Shoei is probably the cream of the crop but they definitely don't fit every head so try at least one on locally before putting down your hard-earned. I personally have found the HJC Sy-Max II helmet to be reasonably priced and of good quality and they fit my particular noggin' just fine! That's me in mine in my sig pic.

By posting this idiotic reply you answered you own question genius...some of us like to maintain our brains, thus we wear a REAL helmet. We like to keep the one brain we will ever have in this life for things like thinking. You should try it sometime (thinking that is).

He probably hasn't had his wreck yet, and "thinks" he never will.

Shark Evoline 2. The chin bar rotates to the back, instead of sticking up on top, so you can ride with it as an open face helmet.

Fit and comfort is the best way to buy...as long as it's a decent brand it doesn't matter...it has to be comfortable. You don;t have to pay out the wazoo for a helmet. They are all made to a certain amount of standards they have to meet. Sure some are a little better but from what i have read, all that are mentioned on here meet and or exceed all safety ...DOT standards. Fit and comfort is Paramount...
