Cant beleive it, went to Clay Cross today near Chesterfield and picked up a brand new Shoei Hornet in flat silver for £130!
Rode home with it on with the 3-4 week old system 6 in the top box!
It is the dogs danglies. I am on my 3rd system 6 (warranty) the current one being just 3 weeks old. It doesn't seem to be relaxing like the others and is a bit tight still and gives me a headache.
The Hornet DS is great, no wind noise, better perferal views, a bit more room on the chin. I was concerned live savers would rip my head off at speed, needent have worried its as good as the BM helmet. A bit more wind nosie coming from under the chin piece, but I have just fitted the optional chin curtain that came with it, that should reduce that.
I have just done 100 miles A roads, B roads and motorway. Absolutley no problems. I haven't done rain yet, so dont know if it will mist up, it does come with a pinlock visor though.
I bought it as a second helmet, I'm thinking this is now my main helmet.
So if it doesn't steam up in the wet the system 6 will be for sale. (Plain silver, size 58/59. 3 weeks old as new still under warranty until Dec 2011). I'll advertise it in the for sale section once I have tested the Shoei in the wet. OIRO £270 I would imagine.
