Have you by any chance seen 2023 Arai and Shoei colors shown anywhere yet?

Different… can’t say that I actually like any of them, I do wonder if they’d still fit in a pannier as well as my Arai QV-Pro?

This has just reminded me to check the prices before I go to the NEC bike show!

The one I was after has increased by £100

Cannot say about the new Arais but my Shoei GT Air II fits in top- and sidecases.

In topcase there is more room but sidecase (right one) is quite tight. Left one is probably even more so because of the muffler.

Have wanted for a long time to try the new AGVs.

My last AGV was an AGV Quasar back in mid-90s but that was damaged in a crash where I broke my collarbone and my VFR. Stupid car driver!

Anyway Quasar fit my head perfect. Then it seemed that AGV changed the helmet shape and they never again suited me.

I read of the new K6 that it would be a perfect touring helmet and found one in correct size at the dealer but no, no, no - horrible pressure points on my forehead so no thanks. Tried an Arai Quantic next and it was perfect fit. A bit pricey so that'll have to wait.
