If it were mine, I would add some color accents to the top because it looks too bald

Well for some of us, the look would match the owner!

Thank you...I actually did see that one and like the color scheme. It's a cream colored white, or light beige. They have an attractive pure white and light blue in the same pattern, but I like the red striped one better. Here's a look from the back...it even looks to have some thin "hair" covering the top to satisfy PB.


Good to know you found it comfortable because I remember your comment about that Torq helmet that I tried out--about it was too round, and that's how it fit, or didn't fit me, too. The V10s do not have the interior sun-visors that other flavors of HJC have. I have not found any V10s in local stores. I'll have to call around.

I also like this V10, a "grape beige". A funky look, but it's growing on me.


One thing I like about it is that it gets away from the "star-wars-storm-trooper" look of the cream and red.

But I'm zero for 2 with on-line orders of late. I'd really like to find a place that sells these so I can try out a medium vs. a large. Still, as the rains persist, it's a fun hunt.

Luck of the draw finding it on my end, a local dealer stocks a few so I tried one on. Also have a Revzilla store nearby, and I think they stock it there too.

On a side note, your RF1400 is a staple however. Yesterday at that store I overheard a guy helping his girlfriend pick out a helmet. “You need a 1400. It’s the best.” They had your pattern but not in red/green.

Del Amo Motorsports is a chain out here and the location between home and work had the V10 last time I looked. I can check it out during the week for ya. Being a regular motorcycle dealer, they do the closed on Sunday and Monday thing.
