I'll post mine.
Shark RSX - 5 stars - 169 pounds :D

*edit - in the fitment section it cites a study saying 12 percent of motorbike helmets end up off the riders head during an accident.

Good resource!

My old Shoei (RF900) isn't there and the new one am not sure if it's the 1000 or the 1100, oh well, not changing lids anytime soon regardless.

Arai Vector hasn't been rated :(

I can only hope it's not because the tester didn't fare so well ..

Don't stress - it's a pommy test - no relation to Oz standards.


And for what it's worth my Nolan N102 is 4/5.
