alright so currently i have a scorpion exo 400. its in need of replacement and i have tax money. looking at spending 250 max, i wear a small in icon and scorpion and a 7 in hats if that helps. local shops dont have alot of choice when it comes to lids so ill be purchasing online.

lids i have been peeping, keep in mind they need to be atleast snell\dot, preferably ece rated. looking for more suggestions and lids to consider. id like a safe light an resonably quiet helmet.

Bell Star or RS-1 helmet's fall in your range depending on where you get them from.

Extreme Supply, The Original street and off-road motorcycle products and accessories and Motorcycle Closeouts both have good deals.

Also, I have been looking at the Shark RSI Karma for $149.99, wicked deal if you are a medium!

I seem to have way too many helmets, might have to sell a few, lol.

i have a exo 700, great ventilation and very quite under 100mph but once u go over and turn ur head slightly the visor will begin to lift a bit and a little whistling sound is present. Not heavy and i get alot of compliments on it ( Sinster model)

Keep in mind these two helmets are SNELL M2005 rated while the new EXO-500/750 is ECE Approved. Not that there's anything wrong with a SNELL helmet, only that if you're looking for the latest and greatest you'll get the ECE rating in both the EXO-750 and EXO-500 for the price range you're looking at. They replace the 700 and 1000 respectively.

I personally like Icon... Crazy designs and usually around $200-$260

thanks for the heads up on the exo 500, my only real concern would be wieght. i know the 1000 is pretty heavy for what it is

vividlust

thinkng if im gonna drop the coin for the 750 or the 500 i mite as well pick up the agv heard its light and has both certs as well

The EXO-500 is actually pretty light, or at least I find it light and comparable to the EXO-400 just from a feel stand point. If you want to get into specifics, you might find the chart on this page helpful:

Additional: IMO, I think features pay more dividends than comparing weight against price but I ride year round. It's up to you though.

very true solo. i have a day or a week to make up my mind, but your point is well taken. all i have owned are scorpions and as much as i like them. i do have some issues, wind buffeting, weight and its view isnt as great as i would like. im gonna go check them out again tho and see what i like best

I heard the BT QUALITY IS CRAP... and a modular helmet on a sport bike could be bad news... Just my $0.02

vividlust

yea i wont be rocking any sort of modulating helmet. full face only

Question for you, have you only owned an EXO-400 or have you had other Scorpion helmets, and were they similar in design to the 400 (basically round)? I know when I upgraded from the 400 to my 500 there was a lot less wind buffeting, probably due to the rear design of the 500.

I've always likes the "BURN BABY BURN" (BLACK) from Icon..
