for what its worth, here is an article from a few years back. A California motorcycle publication (now defunct) bashed up a bunch of old helmets to ascertain their effectiveness. I donated a 20 year old HJC helmet to the cause. An interesting read that will probably reinforce your notions regarding helmet longevity.

So I also checked Companies House for more details of 'the Helmet Inspection Company' and I noticed the Chief Operating Officer is one Ms H Kat.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Not going to include the bike that I bought because it was entirely optional, and in retrospect, the guys here that said not to buy a 125 and just do the DAS were absolutely correct.
TRAINING AND TEST COSTS:
Compulsory Basic Training = £150.00,
Direct Access Scheme Training = £799.00,
Re-Test and Bike Hire for MOD 1 = £125.00,
Motorcycle Theory Test = £23.00.
SUB-TOTAL FOR TRAINING AND TEST COSTS = £1,097.00.
INITIAL GEAR COSTS:
Only stating the cost of my initial gear, and not the gear I bought as options/ extras subsequently.
Jacket (Richa Phantom II - GetGeared.com) = £164.99,
Gloves (Oxford Brisbane - GetGeared.com) = £29.99,
Helmet (Scorpion EX 490 - GetGeared.com) = £109.99,
Boots (Frank Thomas Viper Short - J & S Accessories) = £49.99.
SUB-TOTAL FOR INITIAL GEAR COSTS = £354.96.
GRAND TOTAL COST TO BIKING = £1,451.96. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.
PAST: 2009 Kawasaki ER-6F. 2021 Zontes ZT-125U. |

So if you added the cost of my bike to your total it's very similar cost. |
