Hi All,
I had checked out the LS2 Site and the Products that we have in market doesn't seems to exist in the site Product list.

Check this out : LS2 Helmets
Is it because the products in our market are the outdated ones?

I liked the scorpion followed by the AGV. Looks very classy. But since the bike is red/silver i would suggest AGV first and scorpion next. The graphics on the HJC look terrible IMO (not this particular one, but most HJC's have weird graphics).

Yes i agree with you on HJC this was the only one which even caught my attention. Their graphics are too much on your face. I felt the same wrt the AGV has a subtle classy red on it. In terms of safety they are great helmets arent they? Comparing the AGV and the Scorpion?

Hi guys,
Am buying a Kawasaki Ninja 250R very soon in may-june and in the process of getting a good helmet for me which matches a little to the bike. Shortlisted a few so tell me if they are worth.






The chrome black and chrome green are the Icon airframe helmets with carbon fiber shell for 360 $, would be getting one in green, looks really good but expensive.

The other one in green (with pink helmet) is Icon alliance speedmetal which is for 195 $ and sports the normal shell but is a good one.

Now which ones looks good and feels more VFM? Every buck counts right now as my riding gear budget with the airframe chrome has shot up to a whopping 900 $ 200 $ extra.

Is Icon that good a brand? I like the chrome and green one. My friend from US is comin next month, either he will bring it or am goin in April for rest of my cpl training so i would bring it.

What are prices of each of these helmets?

Is that a Scorpion Exo-400? What is the model name?
I have personally seen an HJC FS-16, & its padding is superior to that of the Scorpion Exo-400.
Haven't seen the AGV, so won't be able to comment on that.

I hope you have looked at reviews of each of the helmets. If not, check for them here: www.webbikeworld.com

Looks-wise, I would have gone for the Scorpion as well.

Hey tibby yes i have seen reviews of the Scorpion and the AGV but not the HJC not too keen on it. The Scorpion is Exo 750 Eternity

Icon is a very good brand and is one of the best too. I like the chrome one, at least in the pics. It might look too garish and tacky in the flesh though.

Go back a few pages and you'll see many options listed for helmets that will go with a green ninja.

IMO, the pink and green ones (in the pic) look very ugly.

P.S. Nolan helmets are also very good and have delicious graphics. Available at ridersdiscount. Should cost around 10k including shipping charges to India.

Well thanks Aditya, i saw some videos of it on youtube and in those it looked good, everyone said the finish is top notch.

YouTube - ICON CLAYMORE CHROME REVIEW BY SIX.
The red portion is in green for it.
The other green speedmetal is a bit overdone sadly, too much dragon , would browse the whole thread tonight and see the Nolsans too.

My initial choice was a K3 rossi replica Dreamtime but it felt as if a lot of "khichdi" is made on it. Might just get a Agv k3 celebrate 8 black model to match the black/green stripes joe rocket and A star smx 5 boots.

This is the Dreamtime - finish is top quality, have seen it in US myself.




Pics taken from Honda 600rr forums, cost is 197 $

Close your eyes and buy the Scorp. I just checked it out last week. It has one of the features which not many higher segments have and that is the inflating cheek pads option. Beautiful I say! Another colleague has a Scorp 1000 rpm and he swears by it. It is a very underrated brand and purely( well almost ) sells by the word of mouth of bikers themselves. How do I know? Because I checked it out in bike store in Switzerland and the owner is a seasoned Alpine biker himself.

And frankly, I thought Scorps are mostly simplistic in design but this one is a looker. So, a cherry you get for free

LS2 Speed

Thanks dude, I picked it up today, the model is LS2, 'The big one', it's a perfect fit, with lots of ventilation, didn't even break a sweat! and it's become very humid, only thing is that it's got a tinted visor, no good for night riding, the shop doesn't have spare visors for it, but all in all great value for just 2k. It actualy gives me more confidence whilst riding, the padding around the jaw and towards the chin is great, I felt safe, for the first time in my two weeks of biking, the Ninja 3g gave me paranoia, if you have a fall and land face first a broken jaw/chin would be a high possibility.

Cheers,

Stefan

Its called the BIG ONE Pic attached

Thank you brother..

I will be buying the lid only after you clarify it from your dealer.And if your dealer is selling the same helmet which happened to cost 3.5k+ sometime for 2.X k now,I am pretty much sure that all of the dealers are getting the same stock.I feel AOTR is playing marketing gimmick with us guys..

Anyway,I am waiting for your reply on this..

Guys got a LS2 speed helmet last weekend from Chopra Automobiles here in delhi for 3.4k .
For LS2 Big one and for all others LS2s he was asking 3.5k.
I am feeling, i was conned in this purchase after reading that the same helmet is coming at 2k which is 1.4k difference.

But the LS2 speed goes good with my Pearl white RTR180 so got a reason not to be sad.
I upgrarded from Steelbird Bieffe to LS2 speed.

Most likely obsolete models, stock levels are usually kept higher in Asian markets, than in Europe.

No doubt the LS2 is a good quality helmet, I was suprised when the dealer said 2k for 'the big one' didn't bother haggling as it was a great price and only 500 bucks more than the Ninja 3g, which is inferior in every way. What suprised me the most was actually getting a good deal in Goa, I thought Delhi was the place for that! Maybe it's because Vega is close by in Belgaum, that the pricing is good, dealer margins must be huge?
