me personally the red, I like the green most and would look awesome with the Versys but might look a bit off with the stripple where as the red I thin will look good with both.....

although I do like the green very much.........

the red one will look odd on the versys
the green one will look odd on the stripple
I'd say either buy both the red and green , or get the black .

I'm pretty much with Jack, but, buy the red & green together, get a bulk/postal discount, retain the new lid smell for longer and have one for weekdays and one for weekends (and no colour conflicts) win/win! 8)

I don't know anything about those. Thanks anyway but I think I'm going for the HJC. Now all I need to do is decide which colour. I'm leaning towards the red.

Red would work with both bikes but green wouldn't.

As for the K5 they are vwry good lids but Kwacky uses his bike in the deepest of winters and I find the K5 very cool even in summer so unless Kwacky uses gaffa tape over the vents there's no other way of stopping the air flow!

AGV lids don't seem to fit me, but I've not tried the K5.

It's very comfy (for me at least) was slight strange at first feeling a tad long at the face and chin area but got used to it very quickly. Just very airy!

Yep...AGV feel like they're halfway to an MX helmet.
