    I pick up my 08 Fireblade next week but I've realised the last time I was out on my old RC8 I had a bit of off at Cadwell and the mouth piece is in a bit of a state, so its new helmet time also :)

    Im tempted to go and buy a AGV Veloce I've seen in the sale, at £220 in black. I did want matt black preferably though.

    Any body know of any good helmets around this price or seen any in the sale? Or any discount codes for helmet sites?

    Ouch,sore one. What I don't understand is why there is such a huge mark up in this country,especially on protective gear like helmets:mad:

    Hi RRoss
    Thinking of buying from wheelup did you have any issues with them ,and how do you go about any warranty issues with them being in Italy

    Thanks in advance Stu

    How do you know this? Looks a cracking helmet.

    I went with the Veloce in the end, really light and has the same screen locking mechanism as the corsa/pista.

    Really impressed with it. :)

    Ordering from them simple,takes about a week for delivery via UPS. Daznorthwest got his already and more than happy,mine due for delivery Tuesday as I ordered after him. They are an authorised Shoei dealer so don't think warranty would be an issue,I imagine it would be a case of take helmet to nearest authorised dealer to have it repaired or replaced by Shoei.

    Ok, I'm no expect, but let's start at the beginning. You're budget is circa £200.

    First question, which brand fits you?
