Anyone got an Arai Condor? I'm tihnking of getting one, was looking at AGV's and I like the Stealth, but someones just told me they are pretty "cheap" and I've heard a few other people say they aren't all that good.. so, for the same price I could get an Arai condor.. I quite like the design, just wondered what they are like for fogging, wind noise etc?

If anyone has this helmet in this same colour scheme also is it possible to post some pics up?

My Doohan rep's a Condor. Nice panel and interior fit, lasted well over the last 18 months I've had it. Like any Arai, it's noisey though.

Thanks but my budget is £200 max and I want to try it on properly before buying.. easier to just pop over to J&S to make sure its exactly what I want and fits me right.

Have that lid in that colour. Fogging is fine on mine and the comfort is very good, nothings fallen off or gone wrong apart from a few surface scratches through my cackhandedness.

It is very noisy, but I always wear ear plugs so it doesnt really bother me. Can't say it's kept me very cool over the last week on the odd occasion when I have used it, but not sure any other lid would either. I also dont go over 100mph (bikes restricted) so it may be better at higher speed.

I picked up a higher spec Astro J Roberts rep for £200 in Dobles Coulsdon early last year. There are good buys about.

You realise the painted Condors start at £249 only the plain one fits your budget?

i have the Condor in Red, its a pretty good helmet, it has the pinlock for the anti-fog inserts which is a godsend. Have to say though the fabric is starting to come away inside of mine./

Worth the money, No way, i`ll never pay 350 for a helmet again, can get one just as good for £100 less

nice helmet. my brother has one (was mine previously, but due to bike theft it became his - it was nearly new at the time, and better than his FM - the one your wearing in your sig actually!)

comfy, and good quality. it is now 3 years old almost, and in good shape, the lining looks "worn in" - but not "worn through", if you get me?

worth the money at less than £200 Shocked , mine was £270....3 years ago though

I have a condor, its a nice feeling lid, not as nice as the RX7 Rolling Eyes but then its half the price!.
For the money they are great!.
One thing I know afew people who have had them and I've found the same as them for some reason they seem to give alot!!, more than any other lid I've had, I dunno why but they just seem to.
So make sure its a snugg fit!.

People ask me. Breaking a 650 and a 600 NTV if you need anything Very Happy

I do very little on Ebay at the moment but I do have a few bikes and a JMC swingarm to go on there over the next few weeks.

Interesting, ive been looking at helmets and temped to get another Raid II for £250 but an Arai sounds good plan if only £250 aswell. I tryed Ruben's on and was better padded than my Raid II was. Raids are pritty noisy to but i dont mind that too much as useally wear earplugs or earphones.

£200 sounds a bargin IMO, where are they (as in the shop)??
