Flip up Helmet

Post by fudge-1200 »

Just bought a Burgman 400 and now need a Helmet, could anyone recommend a Flip up type not too expensive.
Thanks.
Gary.

I'm looking at one of these too and want to look over a Caberg Duke at around £150 I reckon. But it's hard for someone to recommend a helmet as heads and helmets differ in shape. These chaps have good reviews http://www.webbikeworld.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and you can search according to your head shape, assuming you know that.

This is mine .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Box-SZ-1-Flo- ... 2365wt_802" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I paid more for mine from J&S in Northwich , but I like to try before I buy, and I`m really pleased with it
Never look down on anyone ........ unless it is to help them up

Try before you buy but I just recently bought a Caberg Duke and love it.

I just could not get Caberg to fit my head properly, ended up with the Shoei

I must admit I'm not a Caberg fan....they feel cheap & rattly to me, and the sizing is odd - the medium feels tight but the large is enormous!
I have a Lazer Paname flip up which is pretty good - quiet anyway. Schuberth make nice flip-up helmets but they are definitely in the 'expensive' category!

I recently bought a Caberg Duke and it's the best Helmet I have had in recent years.
But, like has been said it must suit your head shape :)
