Helmets are important. And they can be expensive, especially when associated with our racing heroes, whether they be motorcycles or riders. Here's a few examples:
Click on image for the eBay link. This is an Arai helmet offered on eBay which is claimed to have been custom made for "Fast Freddie" Spencer. No authentication is offered and the helmet has no DOT sticker or sizing, which technically makes it unusable for road use — though that's probably not what the buyer would have in mind. Offered at a $700 opening bid plus $25 shipping.
Click on image for the eBay link. Here's a new Arai RX-7X helmet produced as a tribute to the Honda NSR 250R, a 2-stroke street bike produced from 1987-99 and popular in Japan.
I'm obviously not privy to the attraction here 'cause this thing is offered for a whopping $3079. It's listed by a few sellers in Japan for similar money. I'm not sure the market exists here in the U.S., but good luck to the sellers in any case.

Click on image for the eBay link. Well, I am able to relate to this eBay offering. Another Arai RX-7X, this is designed as a tribute to the RC30 and marketed as a 30th anniversary edition.
Again from a seller in Japan, these are available for a more reasonable $1047 with free shipping. A high-quality helmet in classic livery. Love it.
