Hey guys, im new here, and i just recently bought my first bike. Its an 02 ZX6R xD i havent started riding it yet, i still need to put some plastics on it ad get it all registered up, but mainly i need a HELMET. I have about $50 to $60 bux i can play with right now, so if any of you have a spare helmet you can part with, ill buy it. My bike is red, but i dont mind what color the helmet is, as long as its a full face, preferably with a visor lol. pm me or reply with info. looking for one within the next week or so. Thanks |

Welcome to the forum
I've heard some good things about the AFX helmets for people who are on a budget. Less than $80-90 brand new and they're full face.
As for used, you may have some better luck posting in the "Want to Buy" section..

Here is a European helmet review site that does a great job of rating helmets out there. It has a pretty impressive inventory of test helmets, not all but a lot. >>>Helmet Rating<<< |

Save up a little more and get a nice one it makes a world of difference weight and noise wise.

Seems like you get quite a bit for your money. | I recently bought the exo-500 and I like it better than my shoei and bell. Becareful what you use to clean the face shield if you get one. I accidentally used windex with ammonia and it took the coating off. Oops! Replacement shields are not that expensive either.
