I heard back from Bell (BRG Sports) regarding the "Bullitt" name. Katie McDonald from BRG replied to my email and included quoted excerpts from an interview with the helmet's designer. The excerpts are as follows:

"The Bullitt is named after a 1968 movie that, although it stars Steve McQueen, and is of the right era for a retro looking helmet like this, doesn't have any motorcycles in it. Why call it the "Bullitt?"

"Bullitt" has always been my favorite car chase movie of all time. If I were going to name it after my favorite motorcycle chase movie it would have to be "Mad Max," or Goose, the guy in that movie who rides a modified KZ1000. But that just wouldn't be as cool as "Bullitt.""

I thanked her for getting back to me and for the info and I now share it with all of you!
