I don't know if it's any good but it looks sick.

Looks like something Boba Fett would wear.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

It's a Schuberth S1 carbon - nice! (BMW just rebadge them)


I'd gladly donate but I gave all I could for an engagement ring  ;D

Are you sure about that?  The shell looks to be a different shape.  The Schuberth is said to weigh ~1300 grams, the BMW less than 1000 grams.  I don't think its the same helmet.
Sold: 2007 S2R1000 for canyon carving and commuting - DP ECU, PCIII, BMC air filter with open box, Zard full exhaust, Race-tech fork internals, Ohlins steering damper, and a Penske 8987 triple clicker

2000 996XU (extra ugly) for track days - BST carbon wheels, Ohlins shock, reworked fork, FBF exhaust, and a bunch of megacycle rocker arms. The rest of it is junk - Hey, I'm just happy that it runs...

Sold: 2002 Aprilia RST1000 for touring - De-restricted airbox, Taylormade Racing exhaust

Joe Rocket makes a CF lid.  I believe it is a rebadged HJC.  $350 online;




Not as cool as the BMW, but way cheaper.  I've tried it on and it somewhat fits like an old SHoei helmet (which is what I have).  I checked it out because my full face helmet it old (like 8 years old), but I decided to spend my motorcycle cash on stuff that really matters -- new pipes and a billet pressure plate for my Monster!

Nice lid.  I don't think I'd get one but it's pretty striking.  I just got a new Shoe X-11 and it's much better than the Arai it replaced.

The BMW rep told me that all BMW helmets were Schuberth, we don't have Schuberth down here in Australia so I asked him to see 'one of the rebadged Schuberth' to which he replied that all of them were!

Vemar's carbon fiber is pretty sweet as well. But $1,000.... :o
