[MrSith79]

Shocking

[JERREMYDMAN]

nice review..just wanted to make a suggestion, u might wanna cover the inside of the helmet too.How comfortable it is,wind noise,etc.Also wanted to know if the WHOLE liner inside removable or just the cheek pad?wanted to get a kbc vr-2r but just wanted to get more info.Thanks for your great review.

Just want to agree with what OKI girl (sorry, don't know your real name) says.

NEVER try to keep up with the group. Ride at your own pace, otherwise its only a matter of time before you end up running wide because your trying too hard to keep up.

Lovin the work. Andy.

I saw Brian at the beginning! He's NEVER on YouTube I'll have to link him

Nice vid, Oki! Makes others consider what to buy, purpose for it, with some real user review/insight. Very good idea and great job. =)

My girlfriend was of the same mind as you when she was choosing her helmet, she wanted girly, but not pink... unfortunately the girliest designs that she liked were always on a pink helmet.

[OkiHondaGirl]

@OoxTruExoO With the increasing number of women riders, manufacturers are getting better about designing not so bubblegum pink versions of helmets for girls. Mainly Shoei, IMO. When they came out with a Flutter helmet that wasn't pink or baby blue, I jumped on that QUICK! I was shocked. But you don't buy a helmet because of the design; it's about safety and comfort; not how cute or cool you look :) Maybe some day soon we can have both :)

[OoxTruExoO]

@OkiHondaGirl I agree with you 100%, when she narrowed it down to the designs she liked, I picked the safest one for her. That's its purpose at the end of the day; safety.

kbc is good i have one and ya you do get alot of air in. my helmet came out to $80 i like the brand it real good but that me lol

[YoshiMan246]

Hey, I rode my bud's fzr600 the past week and half cause my ninja is out of service at the moment. he borrowed me his Shoei lid as well, Maybe its just that one in general but the aerodynamics on it sucked! anything above 70 and it was wobbling like crazy, then get up in the triple digits and it got worse, did you experience that with your shoei? i later tried an icon and it was smooth as butter up to 120

[OkiHondaGirl]

@YoshiMan246 No reason the Shoei would do that. Sounds to me like it was too big for your head... So my question is if it was already "wobbling like crazy" at 70, why you would increase into 100+?

[YoshiMan246]

@OkiHondaGirl Well, was on a spirited hill country ride and had to keep up with the group,

but you may be right, that could of been the cause, as it was definitely not as snug as my helmet.

[OkiHondaGirl]

@YoshiMan246 Please don't ever feel you have "to keep up with the group"... I'm sure your friends love you as much as my friends love me, and would rather wait for you to catch up, than to wait for a tow and ambulance...

[YoshiMan246]

@OkiHondaGirl You are right, it was my first time riding with them, but after that they told me to ride my own pace and that they wait for all riders at every major stop, so the group stays together, They are a lot quicker then me. not even going to lie ahaha. - Any who, thanks for your perspective!

[rynoride]

@YoshiMan246 What about having a different bike and a different windscreen than you are used to? My stock CBR windscreen directs air right at my neck making it a louder right than it should be until I tuck. Just a thought...

[pulse0000]

Great review OHG.

[ricci530]

What about wind noise? DIdn't you have a Shoei helmet before? How do you compare the wind noise to other helmets you had before?

[OkiHondaGirl]

@ricci530 didn't really notice a difference either way...?

[kary1982v6]

Good review... I did not catch what the Pricing is for that helmet? do they make a good modular?

[OkiHondaGirl]

@kary1982v6 6:30

[jajajacol]

Great timing with the review hehe! I am looking for one and was interested in this model, but in different colour scheme. Thanks :)

[Motorius67]

nice review! :) I have literally a few days ago bought myself a KBC for the track :) i think its the model before the VR-2R but im gonna throw in here that its a nightmare to find decent lids in XS!!

[PRSPlayer]

Diggin the new intro, do you like the kbc over your shoei?

[OkiHondaGirl]

@PRSPlayer Honestly can't say I like one better than the other. I'm so accustomed to my Shoei, but the KBC is a little lighter (weight).

[theslader]

Really like the review, really looking forward to the next one !

[kprez007]

Its called a "Chin Curtain"  @ 2:00

[OkiHondaGirl]

@kprez007 Thanks

[Zero1RR]

My first two lids were KBC VR's great helmets! awesom review!

[Itsreload]

eeeew I saw my hung over self again. I don't think I smelled like alcohol but when I see myself I can smell it through the video. Easier than the icon visor...that's pretty easy. I want to check that out.

[lampingromeo]

Good review! Gear reviews are the shit cuz it really helps ppl make their decisions on what gear their interested in purchasing. Cheers!

[gaijin1200]

Sweet. Nice hair BTW. :P

[darkhorse0687]

Great video review! Keep up the good work.

[ToastToGo]

How come you and Chado both use the same tune for the intro? Haha

[OkiHondaGirl]

@ToastToGo I got my macbook first..... LOL

[ashf00t]

Hmmm....I wonder where you got this idea :P

Hehe nice review though!

[OkiHondaGirl]

@ashf00t Yes ma'am!!! You're the shit :)

[ashf00t]

@OkiHondaGirl I think I might have an apprentice!

[DealGoodDr]

Nice review, and that helmets visor removal is one of the best I have ever seen !

[OkiHondaGirl]

@DealGoodDr The best I've ever experienced!! SO easy!

[MikeEm5]

[OkiHondaGirl]

@MikeEm5 OKInawa...
