Well.................my first helmet was of a brand that I don't even know exists anymore and was made in the 80's. It had a snap-on style windscreen and was an overall piece of crap. I wouldn't recommend it.

My second helmet was another brand that I doubt is manufactured anymore and was also a POS. I got it for free with my second bike. I wouldn't recommend that one either.

My first real helmet was an old black HJC basic style helmet, It was all black and I can't remember what style it was. I think I paid like 80 bucks for it new; but I'm sure that they don't make that brand anymore either, seeing as how I purchased it in 1997.

My next helmet was also an HJC that I got for free from the dealership when I purchased my F4. I have no idea what model it is; but that won't really matter becuase they usually upgrade specific things on each helmet model yearly; and this was 4 years ago.

My next helmet was an Arai Quantam 2............but that is now a few years old as well. But if you can find one on Ebay that is an 03 model year than that is the helmet I would recommend.


Hope that helped you out!
