Most are way too busy.

Doohan's was always good one.

I had 3 Doohan lids, but Sheene's was the coolest ever.

It's a difficult question because people associate the paint scheme with the rider and bike, I don't know that I want to ride round with a replica of anyone's helmet on my head.

I was a big fan of the early 90s Wayne Rainey design, simple and unfussy. But this chap thinking he can get £600 for a 30+ year old helmet is clearly delusional...

I think it depends if you have an allegiance to a brand or rider.
The paint scheme's that stand out to me are Sheene/Roberts/Spencer/Doohan/Russel,but I wouldn't want a replica because,I don't want to wear a replica of someone else & the designs are to busy.
The best paintsheme on a helmet that I wore was a Shoei from the early 90's,it was a Navy Blue/white & bright orange colour,looked good & according to my mates,it stood out which I wanted for safety reasons.

I always like the Gulf Oil paint scheme on racing sports cars. I reckon it would look good on a helmet, not that I have ever seen one.

I was at Donington about 10 years ago and one of the punters was proudly wearing a Sheene duck helmet. I thought nothing about it until he turned round and he had "Freddie" on his back. ;)

He was getting help from the Lowes twins and he was dating the sister. Quite a crowd around that garage.

I remember making a shit joke about a great name for a pop group.

Freddie Sheene and the Lowes Twins.

From the current riders I'd have a Nakagami:

And I always wanted a Lorenzo Chupa Chups. I've even got a search saved on eBay but the only ones that come up are pink scooter helmets in size XXS..

I was always quite keen on Iain Duffus Saltire design when i used to watch him race back in the day so was chuffed to bits when Arai brought it out as it was simple but effective ;)

Yes, i know the screen says Joey Dunlop but its Duffus ;)
