OGK-great new helmet - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I just got an OGK FF4 helmet and I can't believe how good it is. The ventilation works, the aerodynamics, the fit, everything. The field of vision is great, now I have periferial vision. I simply don't have enough words to describe how pleased I am. Oh and by the way it is extremely light, made in Japan, carbon compozite materials and so on.
I got it from www.ogk-helmet.com, here on Newport Beach the service was great I ordered it yesterday afternoon and I got it today morning just before going to work. and not the least, it costs only 199$. Less that my KBC VR-1 bucket.
The only downside is the graphics, it's not my cup of tea, but for someone with partiotic sentiment it will make him a proud wearer, standing out from the croud, in a concrete statement about moral values and believes america stands for.
Chek it out

I need to add that the helmet is not that light. the american version is 1kilo and 600 grams, while the european is 1.4kilograms. Aperently it has something to do with Dot standards. Anyhow it is still a bit lighter than my KBC which is a farely light helmet.

Hmm, Don't know how much my HJC AC-11 weighs... It's heavier than my previous cheapo helmet but more comfortable.

Edit: apparently it's between 1450 to 1500 grams.

I have never had a Shoei, so I can't compare them. I can tell you about the OGK. It's waaayyy beter than KBS VR1, Simply put it's in the top class helmet pool. The lighnings is like the top helmets, fully remoovable. the shield locks securely, and is easy to remoove and install, the ventilation works great, and the fit is awesome, but the best thing is the field of vision, it dramaticly improoved my riding, NOw I can tuck behind the screen, look further into the turns no mather how low I am at the moment, the aerodynamics are great too. The only downside is the finish and graphics. Everything else is on par with the top helmets. I love mine, and you can't beat the price. This is a steal.

I don't know about the noise levels, there is noise but it doesn't bother me.
