SixSixOne Bravo carbon fiber full face helmet

[6packguywith5spot]

I have a very clean 2005 SixSixOne Bravo carbon fiber full face helmet for $125. I am also including a Oakley goggles for $25. The helmet brand new retails for $229. Let me know if interested.

No offense to the seller, but one should never, ever buy a used helmet. Other than the original owner, no one could ever know the history of a helmet. A single crash can damage a helmet without leaving even leaving a mark. When the foam has been compromised, so has its effectiveness.

I have a nearly new Shoei VFX moto helmet with only 6 rides and one crash on it. Although it only has a few mild scrapes on it (despite hitting the ground at 80+ mph), the helmet is now considered useless because it was compromised in the crash. It still fits and feels ok, but it's not wise to risk my life with it now.

Good luck selling it, but buyer beware.

Thanks for sharing your ideas here. I appriciate that as well as buyers, if there is any, after this comment.

But, most of the buyers these days are pretty smart. They visually inspect before the buy.

Again, thank you for informing the buyers.

Hate to tell you this but I got the same helmet from Adrenaline for 120 a year ago. I think they are even cheaper now.

I have helmets that are only to keep you from scratching up your face but I don't trust 100% in a crash.
Every 2 years crash or not I replace all helmets.

That's actually pretty common for experienced moto riders. In fact, I think the owner's manual that came with my TLD D2 said to replace it every two years. The concern is that the insulating foam breaks down over time, regardless if it's been sitting on the shelf or not, yet it may still feel ok. That's why bicycle helmets have the manufactured date inside of them (moto helmets sometimes do, by they still have the Snell M-year number).

That reminds me, I think it's time to retire the TLD helmet I've been racing in, despite never hitting the ground with it.

Anyone have an extra visor for this helmet they're willing to sell? I have a brand new '07 visor I can trade for.
