No because the RM125 body is way bigger than a DRZ125. A DRZ125 is about the size of an RM85.

What is the best motorcycle helmet to buy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here's the opinion of Timberwoof's in his Motorcycle FAQ:

The best helmet for you is one that you can afford, that fits, and that you'll wear every time you get on the motorcycle. A Snell and DOT rated helmet is just as safe as a one ... but not as comfortable on long trips. Just because a helmet isn't required in your state, don't assume that the laws of physics are any different. Get a good helmet and wear it always.

AnswerI always buy the best helmet I can, and only those that are certified for Race Track use as well, you cant put a price on your head. Living in Europe, I always buy "ACU Gold" stickered helmets, certified for racing.

If only I could afford an Arai, I would get one, so what if they're from ?350/470? or more, they have the toughest testing per batch of helmets, than any other helmet manufacturer. MotoGP, F1 & Indy Cart Racers use Arai (or Craft - but they're not road legal over here)

P.S. I don't work for Arai, I just want one.....

AnswerThe answer to this question is pretty easy... Is your head worth 24 dollars or is it worth 250 dollars?

My suggestion on buying a helmet is buy one that fits comfortable for you. I would also suggest buying two or more helmets.

One: Buy a full faced helmet. Upside: it cuts down on outside noise and provided the best protection during an accident Downside: They can be very hot in the summer and heavy during long rides.

Two: Buy a half faced helmet. Upside: They provide a level of protection but not as much protection as a full faced helmet. They are cooler in hot weather and if you wear glasses like I do it is easier to put them on. Downside: They don't offer much protection for your face in you are in accident. For long rides you can have problems with your hearing.

Three: Flip front is a very good helmet Upside:provides more protection then a half face and are more comfortable in hot weather. Since you can lift it while waiting for red lights or other long stops. Downside: They can be more noisy and cost more then full face or half faced helmets.

AnswerDon't lust after an expensive helmet (Schuberth S1 Carbon= £750-£800 ), get the one that fits properly and has all the right safety stickers(kite mark and ACU Gold). A full face will protect your jaw and chin. Flip front are great if you are going in and out of checkpoints or working as a courier/riding instructor, but they are more noisy than a full face. More mechanics=more noise. Never use a helmet that has gone past it's replacement date.

What brand of motorcycle helmet are recommended as best?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the opinion of Timberwoof of Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ:: Aerostich, Joe Rocket, Tourmaster, or FirstGear.

He notes, "Leather looks sexy and works; Cordura is functional and works; Shorts and a T-shirt are an invitation to skin grafts. Jackets can be had relatively inexpensively at pawn shops or through Internet retailers. Make sure that the leather is good and thick, not the thin garment leather that most stylish leather jackets are made of."

AnswerYou will only ever get an opinion. Each and every designer will hype their product, it's business. It's more about personal choice and the motorcycling you do. My preference is textile, not just because it's waterproof and flexible, it breathes, is cool in summer warm in winter, doesn't rot and has fantastic armour built in, but also because it fits properly. I have two very different motorcycles and four jackets, The jacket with the designer label is not superior in its protection, it is on a par with the others. But it was a special gift and is only worn on special occasions. Answer:Depending on your own feelings if you decided to use leather or textiles.. I personally like leather but it can be a bit warm in the summer... So I use textiles during these months... with built in armour... My suggestion to all riders is to not just buy one coat.. Talk to your local dealers and buy what feels comfortable on you and as the seller his personal perferences. Don't buy the most expensive but don't buy the cheapest either. Their is always a happy medium...

Answer:

I agree Aerostitch makes some terrific textile gear, I've used Joe Rocket stuff in the past and over time it doesn't pass my durability expectations. My wife's Tourmaster gear (textile) is great for year round riding. If leather is what you are looking for I can't recommend Fox Creak Leather enough, just read over their testimonials on the site and if you go that route you'll be a customer for life! All their jackets have a lifetime guarantee, how many other manufactures can say that?

Why it is necessary to wear helmets?

Asked by Wiki User

Because in the states where they exist it is the law to do so.

Primarily it is to save the life of a fallen biker who is FAR more likely to die from head trauma than from any other injury.
