Make sure you tell people it's a Doohan rep, so they don't think you're a Biaggi fan.

Either that or make up some excuses, blame the electrics, your VD, the 'brolly girls, your teammate, the weather, the track, the heat, the cold, the wind, your fart in the leathers, the winner, the loser, anything.

Nice helmet though.

 

Haha that's hilarious..Thanks for the comments guys.Glad you like it...As much as I'd love to have the Repsol 1000RR,I love my 05 600RR and would never get a 1000 unless I could have both.

 

Awsome helmet, looks mean.

 

When did this come out?? Is that an '06 model??? I check out helmet websites pretty often and I have never seen that one yet. BTW, when does the new gear come out? Anyone? Nice helmet!!!

 

what is repsol??
what do they do?

 

looks awesome.

a little off topic .. but it would be sweet if Arai made a nicky hayden/repsol ltd edition.

how much was it? it's weird, cause price wise, KBC's are pretty dang cheap ... yet one of the best in the AMA (Mladin) uses a KBC and his signature model isn't even that expensive, compared to signature model Shoei's, Arai's, etc. But they are a quality helment, in my accident i went head first into the side of a pickup at 35mph .. the front was pretty scratched up, especially the visor ... but the helmet saved my life.

to KBC

 

that indeed is a nice helmet. now go get the matching jacket .

i have a kbc helmet as well, and i plan on buying another vr-2 as well.

The sun shines on Repsol YPF, Spain's largest oil company. A fully integrated oil and gas company, it has proved reserves of 4.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, mostly in Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. The company owns 99% of YPF, Argentina's #1 oil company, and has operations in more than 30 countries. Repsol YPF operates five refineries in Spain and four in Latin American and produces chemicals, plastics, and polymers. It sells gas under the brands Campsa, Petronor, and Repsol at more than 3,600 service stations in Spain and has about 3,000 stations in Latin America. It is one of Spain's largest sellers of liquefied petroleum gas. Spanish bank La Caixa owns more than 14% of Repsol YPF

 

Mladin used to the wear the EXACT helmet that i have...KBC Racer-1, i see him using the VR2 alot.

I love my KBC Racer-1...i've tried on alot of helmets and for the price i still havent found one that can beat this.

KBC

 

Odiedog,If I recal correctly,there is an Arai Repsol helmet,but is up there with the pricing.You're right about the KBC's.They are great quality and cheap as hell to purchase.I couldn't be happier with this helmet.The fitment is dead on.I don't think I should even tell you what I paid for this.lol..My buddy that sent it to my from Florida got the same one with the matching jacket and had the helmet signed by Nicky Hayden,Troy Corser and one other whom I forget.

fluke702,the sneaky bastards at KBC didn't even list this edition on their website because it's very limited.They sold a bunch to a load of dealers and when they run out,that's it.I like the idea.lol..

Thanks alot for the comments guys.I'm glad everyone seems to like it.

 

I have the same helmet and my only complaint is that it doesn't breathe nearly as good as my buddies arai signet. It is a very sharp looking helmet....

 

Drill some holes in it, it'll vent great.

Don't worry, I think that I'd rather be a little uncomfortable than dead.

 

Why drill a bunch of holes when you have a 2" hole saw sitting right beside you.I say go big or go home...So I drilled a 2" hole in the visor.lol

 

you shoulda drilled two, one right in front of each eye

 

Phil, you're my hero.

 

hey man where did you get your helmet? My husband just bought the bike and he wants the matching helmet. And I wanted to get it for him for his birthday.
