I am not sure about websites, but I would definately check out the Scorpion helmets. You will not find a better value for your dollar. The EXO-400 is nice and it is very affordable. THe EXO-700 is a little lighter, but you will pay about $40 more.
I own both and I always reccomend them to my friends.

Cool man thx. I actually just checked out their site and made my mind up on the Rivet. I'll get the yellow and black to match the f4i. Thanks!

You really should look at SHOEI and ARAI's. Very good helmets. Worth the extra cash.

These are definately the best two names out there, but have you ever personally worn a Scorpion Helmet? I have worn a Shoei, and they are great, but I am just as happy with my Scorpion. I have not had the chance to ride with an Arai yet, but I hope to some day...

Yeah, it's not like it used to be. Back then it was either Shoei or Arai if you wanted quality and fit. Now there's a dozen other brands that offer really good gear. I've never worn Nolan, Suomy, Shark, Bell, AGV, or anything but the two Japanese brands, but I'm sure Troy Corser wouldn't put his mug up into a Nolan if it weren't top shelf salami.

I'm sure Scorpion are great helmets. I have just owned SHOEI's. They fit me best and best overall performance. In the end, it's what helmet fits you best. Arai's don't fit me as well. So, that was the deciding factor for me.
