    Just snaffled this off ebay for £145..... Now I like a premium helmet, I currently have a Shoei X spirit 3. The snob in me has always thought...... KYT....pahhh!! :rolleyes:

    It might be a 2017 model, But having read this right up and some other research scoured it looks like I've got another premium lid. As stated this is not a replica, this is the actual one used by Espargaro in Moto gp! :)

    Plus I absolutely love the design and shape. Apparently KYT (also part of Suomy) are now the 3rd largest manufacturer of helmets in the world now...... Let's see how it shapes up, but for £145 it's a great addition to my collection.

    I recently picked up a HJC Rpha 11 Jonas Folger rep too but I've kept a lid on that.... If you'll pardon the pun!

    He'll say it's good!

    But then, after a few months he'll get jack of it and advertise it on the forum and I'll snaffle it for £75.00!

    On ya, Paulo!:D:D;)

    Yep, that's a given. Like many, I have been fortunate to score some good stuff via the forum.

    Had a great deal from @thezipsteruk with this jacket. Still loving it!!

    Will probably look good on the elusive Triumph too!! But then again, any jacket looks good on me!:cool::cool:;)

    It's a large sizing. Really equal to 48 and nice and roomy!!

    Anyway, I did make the pledge to shrink after ordering the 2020 Blade because as you agreed earlier, it's a tight fit. Well on track now; 6 kilos down since NEC. On my own plan which sees a loss of 1 kilo per 10 days, so by April I will have dropped 15 kilos plus. :D

    I might even fit into @blink 's leathers.:):)

    Nah, I'd have to try them on.

    I just couldn't do that cos you'd get jealous if he tried to make a move on me:);).

    Here's the lid, just waiting on a dark visor and that will really set it off!! Very impressed for the money I paid, build quality is as good as any of my other helmets but the fit is slightly different. Think I might get some bigger cheak pads as it doesn't quite fit snug in that area!
