OK i know there is a gear forum but it deosnt get much traffic and a sportsbike rider with a fairing will have a different riding experience to us Twinnies!

I quite fancy one of these as they have a few nice features:-

Tinted interal drop down visor - handy as i wear glasses.

Flip front
good value and seem good quality.

But do they last and are they noisey due to the flip?

Cheers Clive

I have the Caberg Solo 104 Gaia and I really like it. The build quality and materials are top notch. It is a quiet helmet.

I ride a Ducati ST4 and a Bonneville. Like you, I also wear glasses. I live and ride in Charlotte NC where we have lots of bright sunny days. The internal sun shield is great for riding during the day and I do not have to worry about changing the visor for night time.

We have had a lot of days this year with temps in the upper 90s. I have found this helmet flows a lot of air. It is comfortable to wear in our heat.

I have recommended this helmet to the guys I work with who also ride.

I did buy the helmet for use with the Ducati. This was before I had the Bonneville. I don't think it is bad with the Bonneville because it has all the same colors as the Union Jack!

I found mine on clearance at www.ironpony.com for $69.99

Hi Timothy

Is it any good though?

My main concern is wind noise etc.

Cheers

I have one of these, very handy if you wear glasses.
But it is very noisy at any speed

Hi marmite

Cheers for your comment, is it OK if you wear earplugs or still unacceptably noisy?

I know what you are talking about,this one is better than the others e,g it has the grip to control wind's noise.
