Thanks, had to import it due to lack of choice this side of the world but as you say they're coming back. Love the detail of the carbon underneath. Always been Shoei up until now

Currently have 3 helmets:

- Arai RX-Q (Oriental graphic)
- Arai Corsair-V (Nicky 3 stars graphic)
- Bell Star (Cerwinske graphic)

BTW, made a huge mistake in buying the Scorpion EXO-1000. Should have read reviews. Complete piece of garbage.

Aria RX7 in black at the moment. I trust them implicity having launched myself off an R1 a few years back and landed on my face as I slid down the road. The front part of the helmet was worn away by the tarmac and now I just shudder when I see people in open face lids as I'd have lost a substantial part of my jaw if I'd been wearing one. Mind you, and open face lid would have looked a bit odd on an R1.

i like that helmet too except for the rossi graphic and the big fat 46. did you see the all black helmet on the agv website so much nicer

mark419ny · September 4th, 2012, 06:13 AM

mark419ny · September 4th, 2012, 06:13 AM

thats without that rossi mumbo jumbo. or you can get all carbon fiber look. The helmet is sweet.

mark419ny · September 4th, 2012, 06:15 AM

actually that may be the corsa version of the pista. the pista is a pure race lid. corse adds some on road functionality. the website for agv is very informative about the helmet and so is revzilla .

mark419ny · September 4th, 2012, 06:25 AM

oh thanks about the scorpion i was thinking about purchasing one they are on sale. the reviews of web bike world said that lid was all hype. Thanks for conformation.

MacaveliMC · September 4th, 2012, 06:45 AM

I've only had Scorpion 400's and now a Scorpion 700. Helmet fit well, but beginning to be a bit disappointed with quality. My strap button clip tore off after less than 2 seasons, and if I turn my head to look back on the highway, the wind can pull the visor open. Kind of annoying.

I will probably be moving to AGV next season. I really like that AGV you posted mark419ny. I'll probably be going something along those lines as I'd rather not have a major riders graphics on my helmet, as much as I like Rossi

the pitsta gp is made solely for the track. there is a great review and reasoning on revzilla. the vents you cant even close they have plastic that goes over them because the closing mechanism adds weight. the corsa version will have closing vents. the pista is shaped like that because its made for the tuck position. i think it looks really cool but i know the pista gp will be around 1000 bucks. kind of steep

Hey! You shut your mouth about my next helmet! YOU'RE a little bit Sci-Fi!

Arai Corsair V Nicky Haden 3-stars.
Just got it; zero miles on it.

rm4two · September 4th, 2012, 11:08 AM

Scorpion EXO-700 and ICON Airframe Claymore. I've been very happy with both. I use the Scorpion everyday, never had any problems and fits me perfectly. I've tried a few Shoei's and Arai's over the years and just don't like how they fit.

MajHall · September 4th, 2012, 11:47 AM

Arai Corsair V Disalvo. Love everything about it.

flobrandx · September 4th, 2012, 12:16 PM

On my second Arai Corsair V and love it!
