Starting to look for a new helmet and color options seem to be limited in some brands and amazingly diverse in others - what do you have? Lets see what everyone else likes on here.
SILVAH! but thats soon to change. i hate my helmet (scorpion exo1000 small) its loud, falling apart after 2 years (only ridden about 4500mi), and not super comfortable.
looking at Arai XD4, Shoei RF-11, and Bell RS-1. Next helmet will be white, period (especially for that money).
This cracks me up! I have an EXO1000 XXXL, "silvah", 28,000 miles since I bought it in '08, and its very comfortable!
Its fascinating that we all have different experiences with the same equipment, but then I guess that's what forums are for. And we all have different heads!
Two things I don't like about my EXO: the "pump-up" cheekpads are useless to me, it fits perfectly with them empty (guess I'm a jowly kinda guy) and I've broken snaps removing the inner liner for washing.
At almost five years old I'm ready for a new lid, the EXO replacements aren't on the market yet and I'll be hitting the local shops to try on others, the only hard requirement is a flip-down sun shield, absolutely love that feature.
The guy who sold me my EXO convinced me to buy a silvah helmet as it would go with any bike I'd get in the future; but, I sure wish I'd bought a blue one to match my '07 Faster Blue, which I still own and intend to until it falls apart. :thumbup:

my exo-1000 is plain silver
im looking at this in the white and gold. not too flashy and im a fan of the bandana/paisley print.
honestly, i wouldn't dislike my EXO1000 so much if it wasn't falling apart. I dont mistreat my gear either. I keep my helmet in the bag, clean it after every/every other ride, stored on a shelf in my A/C bedroom, and yet all of the exterior pieces are falling off and all of snaps have been replaced (under warranty at least).
