it's expensive it must be better" bull don't rate very well, whilst some of the ones the so-called 'experts' would tell
you to steer clear of are actually top-notch.
thanks very much that is extremely helpful, wasn't even aware of this site
and I think I'm now going for the Carbon HJC HQ-1 one due to its rating being 5 stars

Superb helmet.
It'll probably add 50mph to the top speed of your 125....

Good site there Matt....
I'm sure it wasn't there when I got mine a couple of years back 
It only gives my Shoei 3 stars out of 5
So....given the ratings chart, ......
I think that's a good choice Whipster!  5/5 stars can't be bad.
