There's a fine line between loyalty and wank factor...

Loyalty - Green Helmet on a green Kawasaki

Wank Factor - Repsol Jacket on a Repsol Bike with a Rossi Rep Helmet

These are from HJC.

They are HJC AC12 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX HELMET. Mcleods are the importer but this model is not currently on order.
Spoke to Mcleods and the guy that answered was a member of KSRC so he is going to put up a post to check out the demand.

You could order directly from the UK and have it sent here. Costs about 20-25 quid to have it shipped depending on size etc.

Kawasaki are poor at selling their merchandise, its hard to find and nobody holds any stock. At the recent Sydney bike show, all the other manufacturers were selling merchandise off the stand - except Kawasaki. Honda and Suzuki were 3 and 4 deep at their stands with guys and gals handing over hard cash for goodies. Kawasaki were giving away posters... When will they learn that they are not only missing out on revenue but they are failing to spread their branding.

They wouldn't be AS certified, and therefore be illegal. Shame though.

Got a Shoei RF900 about 18 months ago in green white black and grey. Very comfortable, low wind noise and tested it against tarmac at over 200 ks. worked well.
Pics later gotta go watch Twowheeled torque

What are the legalities/ramifications of having a helmet that is not AS1698 certified even if the same helmet is being sold here fully certified? :| read2.gif
