    I see Arai dealers have put the prices up of all the RX-7V helmets. Even the ones they already had in stock, charging an extra £90. Cheeky barstewards.
    Kicking myself for not buying at Motorcycle Live. That'll teach me to want to give the local dealer a chance to match the show deal when I got back.

    I see your point Kevin. Since I have been riding Motorcycles I have worn Arai helmets. Since I can remember I have always used RX7s etc. I guess I have always set myself up for the price, but I love them. They are great Helmets. Look great and fit great.

    I noticed the same yesterday, all of the range have increased in price.

    I noticed the price rise as well - been looking out for the 2018 TT edition, which will be out soon. See what it is like.

    Bang on. There's a medium HRC on a Facebook Fireblade Owner's Club for 500 or offer. Not sure if it's black or red and blue. I would have been a starter, but need Large or XL.

    In 20 odd years I always used to buy Arai, the build quality and design was worth it. I just can't justify the price now in comparison to the competition, the world has changed and others have caught up.

    I've now got 2 X-Lite 802RR Carbon's for less than one Arai. The quality is comparable and the weight of the X-Lites is light years ahead.
