AGV.

if Lorenzo wins the title you're going to get your bike kicked over by Rossi fans.

My last 2p - Try them on.. I find AGV's block my vision when I have my head down whereas the HJC sits fairly high meaning that when you're at maximum lean you don't have to strain your neck to see ahead. Also the AGV is fairly weight in comparison

I've tried them on already. The HJC fitted like a glove. The AGV was a corsa but same shell as the veloce so should be a similar fit. I would say the HJC fitted better but not sure if I just needed to get used to the agv as sits very high and exposed at the rear but that's the design I think.

I ve seen plain coloured RHPA 10 for £150 which is an amazing deal. Thinking a plain white with dark visor could look pretty trick with my leathers.

I'd be inclined to do exactly that.. White HJC with Black Visor.

I like the smoked visor that comes with the helmet, you can use it in any condition and it's nice to see your eyes in the photos

£150.. Check if it's the rpha10 plus? Otherwise the mouth does not direct vent. It vents from a small opening from on top of the switch from memory.. Where the plus version the moth vent slider moved up in its entirety revealing straight through venting.. A small difference but in hot weather every bit helps

One thing I'm finding out is the RHPA 10 Plus is the most widely priced helemt I've ever seen. Full RRP on a Lorenzo Rep is £499 best price for a solid white is £150 for the 10 and £170 for the 10 plus.

Not in the original poll but still a RHPA 10 plus.

I thought it was pretty cool and would go with my leathers. Bargain at £179 from lidsdirect.
