My friend likes off-road biking and is a hard-core motorcycle enthusiast.
I'm going to Japan next month and would like to get him a gift any motorcyclist would die for. Any suggestions?
Maybe helmet brands or anything else which is interesting?

Can't help you on info in Japan. Affordable is not a great term in biking. Whats affordable to some is way out of price to others. Give us a price range to work with. A great store online is www.motosport.com. You can even buy gift certificates and send them so he can buy what he likes/needs. Gear is very personal. Most people are very loyal to one brand. Everthing is cut a little different so some gear fits while other gear feels like a straightjacket. That goes for boots, clothing and especially helmets. Have to agree with the guy who said a nice print or picture, but for gear, unless told what brand and size, go gift certificate.

Honestly all the required stuff is high-end in terms of gifts, the rest is typically shiny bits that add little to the ride. As an enthusiast though he might be interested in related stuff. Check out the website of a buddy of mine for some motorsports prints, some of which are motorcycle related:

In many areas with winter coming the riding season is ending, this is a good time for bikers to learn new things about riding in preparation for the next season. I have found that motorcycle related books make excellent gifts that last forever. For a suggested reading list visit http://www.smartmotorcycling.info. You won't find a more appreciated gift than a good book for the investment and one size fits all.

Get him a DVD of the movie "On Any Sunday" it is a motorcycle documentary classic. "From Dust to Glory" is good also. Good helmets are expensive, personal & have to fit; don't go that route.

the three issues a rider could use the main a leather-based jacket,a clean helmet ,or heated grip's any of those are great for an avid rider ,I put in heated grip's on my H-D in this previous iciness and if I ever purchase yet another H-D i visit even have heated grip's positioned on it as properly

if he's a real motorcycle nut then maybe a cleaning kit would be good as i know from experience with some of my freinds that they like to keep them shiny , looking like new. a leather motorcycle jacket is a great gift too.

if your going to Japan find out what kind of Bike he rides and go to a dealer there and get some literature on it... in Japanese. it's usually free and not easily available here.

Try Evolution or SHOEI helmets.
Or a motor plate, engraved with his name or birthday ?
