Anyone seen a good deal on Arai RX-7's ??

I'm in the market for a new helmet, have nearly always purchased Arai's so am looking for an RX-7. Not too bothered about the design I just want to know about companies doing good deals??

Hein Gericke is often worth a look

Had a quick look online yesterday, they have a handful of old colour schemes at £375 but they are all S or XS, I'm a large. Also popped into the Cardiff branch but nothing at all. I missed a couple of new ones recently that were going for 250 pounds in Nakano colours on Ebay.

Be sure to buy some earplugs.
RX 7's are noisy helmets.

A few people have said that although I have never really thought so. I had a black one about 5 years ago and always thought it was ok. On the other hand I have nearly always owned Arai helmets - Quantum E and F, a couple of Tour-X's and I have now just bought my 2nd RX-7. I did go through a couple of Shoei's when I first started back in 1990 but I cant remember what they were called, one was in Eddie Lawson colours and may have been something like a Shoei GRV but that was quite a time ago.

Ok, if you can get one for less than 335 I don't want to know. That's what I have just paid for an RX-7 Corsair in Kenny Robers colours - probably a couple of seasons old now but I have always liked the design.

not a fantastic deal, but better than full price.

You can get most RX-7's discounted to 399 and some are selling them cheaper for previous years colours etc. Hein Gericke sells them for 375 (again, previous years colours) if you can get them.
