A modern construction Moto 4 for me too . Nice big opening for your googles, plenty of room to breath - still got my old one on the shelf - heavy but.

nah - can remember a Bell Moto 3 at my local Honda store either 78/79 when I bought my first CR?  I think???

Iain - what did they charge you and when did they say available?

LWC82PE - open up dirt helmets - second row first helmet.

Yep. A modern Moto4 or 5 would get my money, but the 3 doesn't excite me at all.

I had the Bell Moto Star then the Bell Moto 3, I just hope the new one is a lot better than the old ones, on saying that if they have modern inards and fits my noggin I would luv one, so will wait and see anyway more work acholic than a rider there alone a racer but still build stuff, so might as well look the part as a feature rider

Worth buying just for the fact that it might be the only helmet in a range of plain solid colours. Most modern riding gear looks like its covered in clown vomit.

I still have an original in the box , i wore it once 40 yrs ago and decided it was heavy and claustrophobic.

I have a new Bell open face helmet, looks the part but i had a huge crash in it back in April , i was out cold for a number of minutes . I am still feeling the effects of that crash enough to have stopped competitive riding . No physical injuries to speak of but it really screwed my head , the polystyrene has cracked inside and the helmet did its job to a point .
However it is a relatively cheap Helmet built to a price , i imagine the replica moto 3 will be the same .

I prefer open face helmets always have done . I used to buy Shoei RJ open face helmets but they changed the shape and i dont like the new ones .

I wish i was wearing my Shoei when i crashed though .

My point is they might look cool and meet stds but they will probably be built to a much lower spec than a decent helmet .

You only got one head , and mine is currently Fuct . it might have been a different story in an Arai or Shoei   

Buy one for show but dont risk your canister by racing in a budget built (probably not budget priced ) helmet

Geez Bill sounds like ya had a real buster mate, all the best, hope you are feeling better soon ,   I had my first & last mountain bike race a couple of years back, was wearing a normal foam type treadly skid lid, went over the hangers, smacked my scone & was out for the count for a bit,off with the faries, forked me up too, reckon I am still not right, fork the MTB's to bloody dangerous, back to motosickles for me

mtb's get old muddaboik riders everytime.....you can crank the right wrist on a mtb but that front wheel will just continue to tuck under till you hit the deck!

I reckon they need steering dampers or at least stops, I lost the front,it skidded a bit then turned completely at right angles to direction of travel, Insant endo , forked my shoulder up bad too, had to pop some super strong pain killers not far from home so as to not panic wifey that all was good when it was not
