nONIE: Be very careful if you are buying a used helmet. One problem is I believe a helmet should be replaced every five years, give or take a couple of months, due to normal wear and tear. So if you buy used you don't know how old it is, but the biggest reason to not buy used is you don't know if it was dropped, banged around, or what ever. If a helmet takes a pretty good hit it should be replaced. I have a Harley helmet, plus an HJC. HJC made the Harley helmets for a while, I'm not sure if they still do. I saved allot by buying an HJC. Also if you search the web some dealers will come down in price or even give you free shipping. They may cost alot but if you need it you want a good one. Hopefully nobody ever needs it. Good luck.
