Please read the question. I know what are good makes etc I just want to know if anyone knows of any other helmets that have the same kind of look as the Simpson Street Bandit. Not just a link to any random helmet company.

It looks like a drag race helmet like the Bell X-15... I don't know if those are DOT though

The are a variety of helmets. Arai ,Shoei, are all spectacular helmets yet are between 500-six hundred$ Icon, HJC,Scorpion make fairly good helmets with cool %. and are..... DOT and Snell authorized fee form of $2 hundred-275 try on in the previous you purchase ! Tip: you are going to be in a position to on the element of bit your cheeks, and the brow area will could be snuggle whether now not painfull.Helmet should not be waiting to rock from side to side on the same time as that is on your head.

Have you tried on the Simpson?
The wide area in front of the chinbar seems like it would get in the way of reading instruments - I'd have to duck my head to see over the thing.
Also, seems like it might create some weird lift and 'wing' characteristics at speed.
Have you talked to anyone who has one, and has spent lots of saddle time wearing it?
I don't know of anyone else doing that 'Timerider' 80's styling any longer. Simpson has stuck with it, and even made it more aggressive in the past few years.

spend your money on an arai the Simpson your talking about will have so much wind noise you will hate it. the aria also vents much better and it will fit better so you wont have the hot spots buy the loudest one you can you need all the help you can get so people can see you. I have an arai nakano replica Check it out

Try Aria or Shoei. That's all I know.
A good hard helmet is a good thing to have! Ü

I have a Scorpion and love it! Excellent quality for the price, and it has a fog free visor.
