Really depends on application...mostly highway, off-road, or 50/50... Maybe something like this....good for warm environments only http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/fly-trekker-ds-helmet |

I should have worded it a bit differently. A few makes and models to make it easier. Then I would research those to decide. I don't want you guys doing all the work because that's no fun for me.

Love my Scorpion 700. Think it's been replaced by the 500. Right at your $200 price point. Good airflow. DOT and Snell badges. Side vision could be better. They don't make Kawi versions, but you could add some Kawi stickers yourself.

scorpion exo-400 became exo-500 scorpion exo-700 became exo-750 I believe the difference between the 400 and 700 was the composition of the shell resulting in a slight weight difference, but both are fine helmets. And Scorpion helmets all smell like chocolate inside :) - awesome customer service.. I live by their HQ and went by due to poor visor sealing; one of the engineer guys came out and adjusted the visor and gasket for me. |

Unfotunately I can't visit most online retailers at the moment. This WebTv contraption has IE 6.0 and can't be updated with modern software. I'm getting the Kawasaki out of the way since I have the opportunity to do so. I'll grab me a Laptop on Black Friday at Wal-Mart since I planned to go to watch people beat on each other anyway.
The helmet doesn't have to say Kawasaki on it. I can be a solid color or a mix of any or all colors.

I found the best selection and good quality is the ICON brand of helmets and they are below the 200 price point...

I actually have the AFX-37, but the 39 will be my next one.

One that fits good, lots of different ones and none fit the same. I Like how the 39 fits

Oldstove recommended the newer 39 model and I ordered it yesterday and picked it up on the way home today from a great ride with Oldstove, MaineKLR and his friend Dan. My engine is a little noiser since the windnoise is lessened. Shield very clear and the fit snug and will take a while to wear in.  UPS delivered it to my local dealer just after I arrived at the shop. Pefect timing.  I just read Gunny's report on the helmet and am glad he finds it a decent lid. Take care, Mike |

It is a sharp looking helmet Mike. You know the best way to break them in is to go for a LONG trip for ice cream! American Wolverine...here's gunny's review of the AFX-39 dual sport helmet. They can be had for under 150 bucks and even cheaper if you do a little looking around. http://klrworld.com/forums/riding-gear/afx-fx39ds-review/ |
