Re: Would you buy or use a used helmet, or get a new one?

Back on the the topic of helmets:

I have bought three so far, two for me and one for my wife. (I have a "full" and a 3/4.) I think I paid about $170-180 for the full, and maybe $20 or $50 less than that for the 3/4. Full is an HJC, the 3/4 a Scorpion.

Ennyhoo, when I bought the first one, which was at the dealership I grossly overpaid for my GZ, I was surprised (almost shocked) to see helmets (SHOEI?) for, like $900, and higher.

Do any of you guys have a $900 helmet? Are they worth it? Tell me why I'd want to get one.

I know some of them have radios or bluetooth, but I don't think these one's did.
