Hi all Just in the market for a new lid, and noticed that new graphics might be coming out in my favourite lid! Those that know me, will now I am a Daijiro Kato fan ( sadly no longer with us) and I was told that the blue version of his lid design will be launched in Europe. I saw it in the shoei brochure but nobody at helmet city knew if it would be launched in the UK? Does anyone know please?
Thanks mate. Love it tbh, and very comfy... And more importantly, NO SIDE PODS!! Do like the blue one though, very nice. I crashed at brands first time I wore it, trying out wets for the 1st time and feeling cocky getting my knee down lol.... Luckily no damage to the lid lol could have been expensive!!
Ha Ha I like they way your worried about damage to the lid, but you fail to show concern for your bike in the crash
The marshals were cracking up, as I slid down the track holding onto the bike with my head cocked sideways avoiding the Tarmac! Lol Priorities and all that - that's what the track bike is for He doesn't have a stunning hrc anymore... He has a.... Wait for it... Repsol! Lol
No you didn't get 60% off because Tomizawa died, the helmet was brought out to honor Shoya after his death with a percentage of the sales going to a fund to support young Japanese riders. I also have one Shoei X-Spirit II by (MrB), on Flickr as well as
The reason you got 60% off is because they sold like dog shit, I love it the helmet that is not the dog shit.
Thanks guys. Love the Shoya, also. But can't find one.... Great, I will invest in the Kato San rep! Now should I have the 954 painted in his colours or is that a bit OTT? Let me know if you see a good deal on the lid fellas.
No, especially as it was a limited run as well something like 200 in the UK. The suppliers thought they would sell like hot cakes so they all brought a load and got stuck with them hence the large discounts now available.
The deals still on Guys in Large only! This Helmet is £640 in most other colours! Shoei X-Spirit 2 Shoya Tomizawa at Helmet City
Still tempted with the Tomizawa but can't justify it atm with already having the McGuinness one & just recently getting the Marquez one
