Re: Helmet recommendations
Probably because Lorenzo has swapped to Shark Helmets so HJC cannot make any more Lorenzo reps and as the RHPA 11 came out at pretty much the same time as Lorenzo switched to Shark Helmets not many were made in the first place, hence limited stock.

This is exactly what the guy said at J&S. But I do like it!! HJC have made a great lid all I got to do is try it while riding!!Blade wrote:Probably because Lorenzo has swapped to Shark Helmets so HJC cannot make any more Lorenzo reps and as the RHPA 11 came out at pretty much the same time as Lorenzo switched to Shark Helmets not many were made in the first place, hence limited stock.

Re: Helmet recommendations
I noticed this as well as I liked the AGV K5 but when I looked at it again on the site it says it had a flip down visor which I don't fancy having but I can't remember the one that I tried having it??StMarks wrote:AGV Clearance sale .:

Also looking back at my notes I jotted down about the vents I yhink they would be difficult to adjust while in the move/ with gloves on so it put me off last night!!

Re: Helmet recommendations

Re: Helmet recommendations
Get it while you can. There aren't many made so if you delay you'll miss out.

Re: Helmet recommendations
I think I'm going to get myself an old-school looking lid come spring/summer time. I'm off to http://www.motocentral.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
tomorrow to try them on.
These are the ones I like...

Re: Helmet recommendations
Those are bizarre!!
I mean...I like them, but today they'd kinda look like a white guy wearing a turban.

Re: Helmet recommendations
Fwiw if I had a lovely Bonnie like you, I'd be wanting to try the Shark Raw range, as they have the right look IMHO.??TonyB wrote:I think I'm going to get myself an old-school looking lid come spring/summer time. I'm off to

Re: Helmet recommendations
I did look at those but the Shark Vancore would be better (to me at least), the chin bar is rigid and could take a knock in a spill and not flimsy and removable like the Raw. I saw some images of a bike crash with an open face helmet...not pretty.StMarks wrote:Fwiw if I had a lovely Bonnie like you, I'd be wanting to try the Shark Raw range, as they have the right look IMHO.??TonyB wrote:I think I'm going to get myself an old-school looking lid come spring/summer time.

Not seen the Vancore range before, has a bit of a "Simson" thing going on IMO.
