Quick heads up on a deal. cyclegear has Scorpion EXO-1000 helmets on sale at $100 for blue and $140 for dark silver. I just picked one up and it's pretty nice. Has a built in drop down sun visor. They normally are over $300.
update: rode with the helmet and it felt pretty quiet and lightweight compared to my old helmet which was a KBC VR-1. Also the anti-fog coating works very well, I didn't have to crack open the visor at all. It was around 40 deg F. which I think most visor would fog up. The KBC fogged up real bad. Another cool feature I liked is the air pump it has in it. Haven't tried the small lever that locks and open the visor a little so I can't really comment on that feature. I'm happy with my purchase so far.
Nice! I am getting an Shoei X-twelve for 400$ though so I will save my money for that ;)
Too bad I only wear Arai or Shoei....

I am getting a blue one when I get back in town. I was just thinking about putting this info up here myself, you beat me to it.
I got mine today, and these are damn nice helmets, a HUGE upgrade from my Z1R. It is amazingly quiet and aerodynamic, and has some nifty features. I absolutely love the built-in sunglasses. Go get them while they're hot.

God I wish they were that cheap here! Expect to pay over $1000 for that model Shoei in Australia. :cry:
Heh, I have a hookup, I do IT work for my local shop, I get everything at cost
I got the blue Scorpion EXO 1000 pictured here.
I absolutely love it! :cool:
I've had an EXO-700 for 3 years now, and It's 95% what my old Arai Quantum II was. Lots of helmet for this amount of money. When I replace this helmet, it's probably going to be with another Scorpion. I really have nothing bad at all to say about them.
too bad they wont have that type of prices again for an exo-1000
OT: but they also have the Grime Minister series chain brush on sale. Reg price $12.99 Sale price $6.40. I picked up one today with a fresh can of chain lube. http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=&item=MQU_MIT-058
