    What do you think of this helmet?

    HJC AC-12 Yikes III Motorcycle Helmet :: New Enough Motorcycle Apparel

    I am looking to replace my out of date HJC's. This looks like a killer deal and they look to meet the requirements for racing this year.

    Anyone wanna shoot it down?

    I love my CL-SP, and having tried on the AC-12 it will most likely be my next helmet. I haven't personally heard anything bad about those helmets.

    call em up, ask them when the date of manufacture is... but since it's SNELL 2005 you should be alright for a couple of years.

    I ordered one, so I can tell you on 3/20 when it arrives how it fits. I have the CL-SP which I like. It was also a great deal from newenough. It is a little more sporty than the old Shoei RF800 that I used to have and didn't have the same expensive padding, but overall I really like it and for the price it is great (snell 2005). Since I am selling the Ninja decided to order a neutral color, silver and black to fit the rest of my clothes.
