Arai RX7 Corsair -- the Haga replica.

I love it. It's a fabulous helmet. But truth me told, if it hadn't been a gift, I probably might not have spent THAT much on it. I'm looking for another helmet now (just to be able to switch back and forth) and I'm looking at Scorpions, and Sharks.

I switch between my Shark and my Arai, but I also have an HJC that I use as a backup helmet

I haven't been able to ride in a while, but I still have my ancient Shoei RF800 that I use on very rare occassions that I can steal a ride. One of these days I'll upgrade to something far more current.

And as mostly useless as it is, I would totally rock a Davida Classic (union jack graphics or black with a checkered racing stripe) with some aviator goggles on occasion if I had the money to piss away.

my primary is an HJC CL-Max

I use it all year since I picked up a breath box and winter shield and use it for snowmobiling as well as for the bike in the summer.

I will only wear Suomy. This is my 2nd. Their graphics are second to none and they are super comfortable.

Probably pick up another, since I'm seeing such good deals. I've been looking at other lids, but nothing else is as right.

GMAX GM58S

A relatively unknown helmet brand. The padding and protection is excellent... a little on the heavy side compared to my buddies HJC. But for a $99 helmet, the padding design and technology are better than that of an HJC of twice the price. So nice that my buddy with an HJC and Shoei said "Holy fuck this is nice, how mcuh did you pay" when he looked it over....

What looks like all grey in the pic is actually metallic silver. The silver really shines like crazy in the sun....

Street i wear a Z1R helmet and i HATE IT! ! ! it fits fucking WEIRD! ! !

Dirt i wear a Vega*i know Crappy* but i LOVE it, and i kept my head from getting cracked open, so im happy

Once i get a job my street helmet will be a Shoei. . . .All dad used to wear when he raced dirt track:whistle:

01-07-2009, 09:45 PM

Track - HJC
Street - Suomy Vandal, Bayliss Replica

I like both of them. I have to say the Suomy is my favorite because of the paint scheme and that it's a replica. It fits nice too, another reason I got it. And the price was right.

That makes more sense, since they seem to cover a few model years. When someone says they have 10 helmets, I picture a rack full of current $350+ Shoei/Arai helmets. :lol:

I have an old crashed Shoei RF800, but don't count that in the list of helmets I wear because... well, I don't wear it any more.

Icon Decay here. Most people wouldn't like it but I enjoy it.

It is my first helmet so I know I will try other helmets with time. Both of the helmets I had gotten before were hand me downs and so my experience with this one has been great. It is a bit big and bulky, but I enjoy the rubatone finish and graphics.

How did they fit, and what changed? I've always read pretty good reviews of their helmets and have always been interested, but I've never seen them at any of the dealerships. Do they fit like a Shoei or an Arai?
