just to note... if you intend on using any OS purchased or privately imported helmets for Racing... they will be rejected at Scrutineering as they will not display an AS sticker.

Are you sure, Hype?! I'm not gonna name names but I do know plenty of people using OS helmets for racing... I remember reading it at another forum (you know which one! :lol: ) that it needs to have either SNELL or another Certification to be approved. Not necessarily AS.

All i can say is that the Scrutineers have been actively recording the approval numbers and sighting & recording the AS sticker. Take from that what you will.

Dammit. I figured you'd be right but I was really hoping you weren't!

That's my favorite as well. I'd buy it if I found the one on the pic for sale (RACE R PRO) but I can only find the RACE R on those colors.

:lol: the black Vision R pictured above
All my other helmets would have fogged up on a cold morning like today, not this morning :D this helmet seem to excell in most areas, but I have noticed that there are voids in the padding that are quite different to the shoei but nothing I cant get used to just feels a bit weird at the moment.
