That said, according to Anthony at revzilla.com, the standing joke in Europe is that Daytona boots, Rukka textile jackets, and Schuberth helmets are the BMW riders "uniform". This would fit with my earliest recollection of seeing a modular helmet, a Schuberth, back in the early to mid 80s. At the time Webbikeworld.com reviews had a comparison of the small selection of modular helmets available back then. As I recall, at the time, the Schuberth was among the heaviest, if not top of the list in terms of weight. I tracked down a dealer in my area that had Schuberth to try on. It did not fit the shape of my head comfortably, and I do remember it felt heavy. So, maybe it was actually a Schuberth that was the first, sold/used by BMW?
Schuberth does, indeed, make the BMW modulars.
