Fwiw it's a total NO from me too.
It truly screams wanabee... But from a marketing perspective I could see it being a popular choice with those ( Call of Duty etc..) addict types

Cheers for the suggestion and have heard lots of good things about them but I just don't like them. Which I don't suppose is helped by the fact they look sh1t imo.

I don't like race replica lids. I prefer plainer designs.
This might look good on a kwack

Cheers for the suggestion D but I tried that when I bought the GT Air and I haven't got a shark shaped head plus I want a race helmet as already have an every day road/sports touring helmet with integral dark visor.
Cheers for the suggestion though.

Who would be crazy enough to pay that sort of money for a lid? Would you ever use it in fear of actually having to use it!?!

I reckon Blade would buy it if we told him it's the same one Stoner wears.
That's stupid money. For that price you could have one custom made.

Anstey wears that helmet.
I was talking to the guy in the infinity store in London and he said he had recently sold two arai carbon helmets to tourists visiting London from Asia.

More money than sense. You buy something like that just to tell people how much you've spent on a lid.
