Quiet Helmets ???

[Strika]

Yeh very true,

The lid i have now is supa loud no matter what im on. I just sold a Z1000 and a DRZ400 Factory motard and it was crazy loud on both bikes.........

That explains your delema........ riding NKD bikes will be crazy loud cause its just you & the elements

Horseshit RR!!! I wear a BMW Sport Integral helmet. It is bloody quiet on Dangerous Dave's R1, My ZX9R, my BMWR1100RS, on Greg's ZRX1100 and on Dangerous Dave's WR450! It's just that it has a little tiny weeny BMW badge at the back.

So what, there is no diff between having a fairing & Not .........quote (riding NKD bikes will be crazy loud cause its just you & the elements ) is this not true?
OK mabey take out the CRAZY part of my quote
I have no idea about the Sport integeral but I have had 2 System Beemer helmets & they were totally overated & 1/2 the BMW touring club of NSW agreed at the time so is it possible that you have a big head & a tight squeeze

DONT BUY A KBC VR2!! mine noisy as fark!! until i pause the Ipod.

my KBC is pretty good, (once you get a tinted visor you can see through)

but...... you get bugs, dirt, and wind in your eyes with the visor down.
they have tried to fix this by adding a little bit near your chin, but it dont work.

other than that i quite like it. its more ventilated than my AGV cheap shitter i had b4.

I can't comment on the System 2 as I have never worn one. However, the Sport Integral is the same as a Schuberth! In an 06/07 lid test O/S, both were rated up in the top three in terms of noise.

As for a naked bike, I recon your theory about fairings could be right, as the helmet is quieter on a naked than it is on a faired bike!! On a naked, this lid is eerily quiet!

but it is that loud, it gives me an ear ache.

You'd better start using ear plugs. If it's hurting that's definitely damaging your hearing, and quickly.

I currently have an ARAI Nakano replica helmet, which cost the earth, is super lightweight, and breathes like no other, but it is that loud, it gives me an ear ache.
What helmet is quiet in the latest range,,,

Also check that there are no vents blowing air straight into you ear, the temperature and pressure differences can give you a terrible ear ache

[Aahzap!]

Simple

Just go down to your local motorbike shop and ask the salesperson.. 'Can i please test ride this helmet¿?'

That's utterly dumb. Think long term.
Pity those poor sods in motogp have missed the "hole" point of riding. You should tell them.

+1 on my KBC although i find the seal between the visor and the helmet rubber pretty shirty at times.

I have always used earplugs and been against ipod's but after speaking to a few people including wattie I will give it a go soon.

Just bought a Shoei XR1000 Patriot.

What a difference from the ARAI !!!

Alot quieter and alot more room around your ears.

supa happy.

Err sorry...what was that?? I couldn't hear you...speak up a bit will you???

Yes..that's right, I rode for years without any ear protection. I now have industrial deafness. Ambient noise makes me lose any conversation. You're going to be piss funny when you're 40 and deaf!
