I prefer to think of it as educational rather than criminal
. Once they realise they have
right royally had their pants pulled down it should allow them to learn from their mistakes and improve their sales skills.
I don't charge for that lesson so in fairness they got a pretty good deal too

Only thing putting me off is the vents are not on little sliders like most road helmets. They just have a little bit of rubber you can peel out. I guess it's a full on race helmet so not designed to be worn all day and if just using for brief sessions on track you decide upfront if you want vents in or vents out. The obvious negative for a road user is conditions change on a full days ride out so the ease of flicking a slider to close or open the vents is pretty dam useful.
Now that is fantastic. How much?

The AGV Corsa, like mine , is the more road-orientated version of the Pista, Blade.
They don't do a carbon version though.
I got mine for £400 with an additional dark visor at the NEC last year.

They do a nice matt black version though, which would look better than carbon IMO.

The pista is £800 RRP.
Yes been looking at the corsa too ànd quite like the GM scheme and the black but not sure about the matt black.

I'm going to try them all on but current short list is AGV pista and corsa, Arai Chaser V and Shoei NXR or X Spirit 2.
This is the GM Corsa

Wouldn't it be worth waiting until the Bikeshow, then you really can try every type you fancy. ?
Not that long now, & I'm told that prices there (& online) are always cheapest Bikeshow week.

I m in no rush and agree NEC would be a good place to try them all on and maybe get a deal but finding some great deals already.

A few companies will do price match or pre-NEC show discounts.

I can get a Corsa for £299 today in the colour I want and no one at the NEC will beat that.
I just need to try one on first.

I like the GM and Nicco23 Rep Corsa's and also plain carbon, black or white helmets but welcome to hear any suggestions on designs from you guys as I want the lid to match my new leathers.
Which altougth I like the GM and Nicco23 designs in isolation I'm not sure they would be a good match with my leathers. What do you think ?
These are my leathers I want to match with.
