Met the misses at lunch @ Action and had her pick out some helmets...
Then she tried on the one I wanted and we got that one...
It is an last season model from what I can tell..
Model: Shark RSF2 Foggy $299 on sale.
http://www.motorcyclemart.com.au/db/sho ... me=picture <-- $499 here...
I figure it's a good price, anyone got anything to mention about these helemts?
Thanks
Dan

Only that the bloody things don't fit my head
My missus has one of the cheaper Shark helmets which isn't too bad, nice graphics, but after an hour or two it presses on her forhead a bit. I told her she just needs to wear it more, but hey, you can't tell 'em.

My heads to big... otherwise she would have got my Shoei RF900... Cause I need a new one... She is a M in Shark.. I am a L in Shoei and it was the only helmet I could get over my head.. And it's too big for me now.. way to much movement..
200+ down the straight and I could have bitteno on the front of my helmet..

That's a good price, Dan and even better that your gf is happy with it.
When I was a pillion, I got an AGV but found it too heavy after a while, which is why as a rider I got myself an Arai - love that helmet, but wish it was more user friendly for visor changes.

cool, If they fitted me i'd wouldn't mind getting one, but i have 2 screens for my shoei, so it's abit of a waste to get another brand... BUT I want a Nakano replica though.. but way to expensive..

My missus has a Shark and so does her sister and they both love them. Personally, I can't stand the bloody things! Obviously they have different shaped heads in France, coz they don't fit my noggin.

Jezas Dan you make it way too easy, let me see do i start by wading in about Head size or kick into the jewish jokes about helmets ?. Even set you missus up i mean is M in shark means shes a Bronze whaler or a Hammerhead ?, way to much movement we talking Heads again or Helmets as for biting things on Straights .... C'mon mate your Not trying hard enough. thank God i arrived before the "Neka n Mina Tag team love tussle" got here.
Nothing to read here Folks ... false alarm .... move along please.
Cheers Brett

"dont hate me"
You do realize this is because you've got a "soft head". Obviously it conforms to the shape allocated by said helmet or Beanie as the case may be.
