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.

I just can't imagine any helmet being worth that, I could see 3 hundred or so for a custom painted one (if you are into that kind of thing, which i am not) but 900 (or more for that matter) is ridiculous.
