Need a Helmet

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.

Another one from Orlando here! I'm in the market for a new helmet too, and I'm pretty set on a exo-500. 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.
