YES! Glad somebody else caught on to Bell. I got one for my birthday and it is a night and day difference in my One Trooper. My friend has an Arai and he said he likes my Bell better. I have the Black Manic color scheme.

Anyone know the weight on that helmet in the first pic?

this feels like the lightest helmet i have ever had.

weight depends on size if you have small to medium head and would get the shell size e and large head shell size f

the shell size e is listed at 1300 grams which turns into 2 lbs 13.85 ozs

the shell size f is listed at 1400 grams which turns into 3 lbs 1.38 ozs


hope this helps

I like the Moto-8's, but the Moto-6 and early Moto-7's are my favorite helmets. Plus they were made in America and Italy, not China like most of the helmets out there today.

Not meaning to hijack, but have you even used or heard about Sparx helmets? I've got one but haven't used it yet. Found it on sale at a Honda shop.

The Sparx is not Snell approved it meets DOT and ECE2205 standards.

I trust snell.

I have used Bell Helmets since I started riding again in 2001, can not say any bad things about them. My last few have been the Moto 7's. If you want a smokin deal on a Bell Helmet, go here:

http://www.bellhelmets.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=491

I have ordered three Moto 7's from them over the years, always a good experiance. My first Moto 7 a couple years ago was $200 from them, I bought two more a few months ago for $125 each, now they are only $99! I may buy one or two more just to have them.
