Just noticed that Arai have released this,

One of my all time favourite helmets !!!!!
I reckon a few of you are Schwantz, Doohan and even Chris Walker fanbois, but what else does it for you ?

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
When I was an impressionable yoof the final achievement in motorcycle ownership was having one of these:
I don't even like it now
Yes I know that's the 20th Anniversary model before anyone says it

Hi
In my collection I currently have:
XSpirit blue Kagayama
XSpirit 2 blue Bautista
XSpirit 3 Kato
Autographed Haga RX7RR -the blue and red one
All but the Haga still get worn from time to time but now mainly the Kato
Cheers
Steve

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
Oh forgot
I’ve also had XSpirit 3 Laverty-too green unless you have a Kawasaki
Arai RX7-V Spencer Anniversary-didn’t fit as well as the older Arai
Both sold and prefer Shoei now
Cheers
Steve

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
One from when I was just a nipper.
I also had a T shirt that was printed to look like Roberts leathers even to the detail of having stitching printed on it.
One of those things I wish I still had even though I had it whan I was about seven or eight ish.
Would never fit me now but I reckon it could live in a frame. IIRC it was the red colour scheme instead of the yellow one that I can still get pretty close version of now.

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
I had a chaser Haga rep a few years back, a tyre wall at Cadwell killed it proper.weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:22 am Just noticed that Arai have released this,

Maybe if they charged the classic prices they would sell more

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
Moving house on Friday so I've gathered all my helmets to transport them myself rather than let the removal guys. Current tally is:
3 Davidas (one black with chequer stripe, one black with grey/silver flames, and a plain BRG one).
2 Arais (RX7RR Roberts Rep in blue and black, one Chaser (I think) in white with grey/black chequers)
1 AGV (Gobert Reaper)
1 No make matt black piss pot

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
I had 3 Doohan Arais but the costs became silly, so I just got a fairly plain one.
Now I have an Arai with subtle Union Jack on.

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
I like plain colours,usually black. There are lots of lovely reps out there,such as the KR jobbies.
The spray-on flies is a good look.

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
I much prefer the ones with solid colours and feel that the ones that have loads of shading and airbrushing lose a bit on the design front really.
AGV have been consistently good on that front over the years.

Re: Helmets : Classic styles and Reps.
I've had a look to see if they do the Haga in a lower spec lid, can't afford £700. I was hoping for a Chaser-X, but nope
I loved my old one...
