I do like the Spencer rep but not sure it will go with the leathers and green meanie.

I've heard varying reports on HJC lids quality...and not juts from Lorenzo. :D

So i reckon its down to the AGV and Nakano rep. In terms of colour i reckon the Nakano eyes.

Cheers Duke appreciate the comments.

What had you heard about the lorenzo rep. I realise it's not a premium brand like arai or agv but I reckon it looks the mutts nuts and it's weighs nothing.

The build quality has been variable in the past from the reports I have read. They may have improved in the last year though i guess with a top rider wearing their stuff. Does look good though.

I always liked the x-lite helmets Lorenzo used to wear. Decent quality too when i looked at them at the NEC last year.

Looks wise I love the HJC. Two of my mates have one and I always get a little jealous when I see them. I was unaware of any issues with it though?

^^agreed love the look of the HJC. Would love to hear about the qauilty of them as I've had a few HJCs but only cheap lids.

If it were down to me I'd go for the Arai top one. Looks like a Red circle at the side. Pattern looks good but the others look a tad plain for my liking other than the HJC.

Agree that is quite nice.

Not seen any good deals on that one though and thinking matt black could look pretty cool with my black leathers.

Blade the bargain hunter :D

Matt black looks good but I thought the red flashes go well with your leathers.

I'm surprised the HJC Lorenzo has been so popular. I didn't think it would be as few people are Lorenzo fans on here and also its not regarded as a premium brand as AGV and Arai are.

For looks I like the Lorenzo lid. I have an HJC and find that my vision is blocked when I duck down and my eyes can't see past the top of the opening.

A little off topic but did anyone else notice Lorenzo's chin sticking out the bottom of his helmet in the last GP? It didn't look like it fitted him properly.
