What kind of helmet do you have? - Star Motorcycle forum: Yamaha Star Raider, V-Max, V-Star, Road-Star discussion forum

I'm curious to know what kind of helmet you have. I've seen some pretty cool ones out on the roads.

Do you go for full-face preotection? (This is what I have) or just the skull cap?

I'm all for protection, as much as I can get.

What about you?

I have a full face helmet. Scorpion "crack head" and an HJC that is black chrome. Used to have a Vemar VSR very nice helmet but allowed alot of wind noise while ridding.

I also have a full face helmet. Considering how many times I have got accidents riding a bike (LOL), now I put safety first. Then comes appearance.

The smaller helmets are nice because I feel like my vision is not impaired as badly as a full face but the protection is just not enough. I've used both and like both for different reasons.

I took a big bug in the face once while on the highway and tell ya what that little guy left a mark. Fullface helmets for this guy after that. Rain also not fun

Yuck on the bug incident! Lol. I haven't been there myself since I've always worn a full helmet, but I can imagine it would permanently turn someone off from skull caps.
