Bell Moto 7 Helmets for sale on eBay – are they any good for BMX?

[THE TUF*NECK]

cool i know bells are good i  only use bell since i was 12 now 36 had a few knocks but still ok i think what you think guys?

[Stevo]

Thanks for the response lads.

OBBIE, I didn't realise there are two types of moto 7's. Checked out the Bell site link and I prefer the Moto 7R, which you say is the better helmet. Not that much more expensive than the 7K (posted at the start of this thread).

MADALL, I lovin your old school moto 3 collection, they look mint.

Cheers

Just before we all get into a Mrs. Madall-fest,  could I just stick my oar in for a moment and say please please try and get a fitting for any lid you're thinking of buying.....

So if we're all going moto7 crazy and insist on buying from ebay, get down to your local mx shop and try one on.  A badly fitting hemet will hurt you - guaranteed.

Remember, with the chinstrap UNDONE, you should not be able to rotate the lid on your head, nor should you be able to pull it straight up and off your noggin.  Look out also for excessive pressure on your forehead; this may not neccessarily be cured by a larger size - you may not have a 'bell' headshape, they dont fit everyone....  If this is the case, try an Arai lid (the best lids around in my opinion).

Whatever you do, unless you know your own headshape very well, don't buy a lid cold without a fitting; its a gamble......

Sound advise sir, thanks, I was just about to hit the BIN on that lid

[region11]

Got one of those moto 7K's and they're the dogs.  Needed  a smaller bash hat as other 1 was a little too loose.  I must have the smallest head around.  So now have this Bell SCX spare, if anyones interested.

You're very welcome      One of my 'things' is safety gear.....  One other thing I forgot to mention, be sure to buy the coolest lid you can find, as stupid as it might sound us vain fellows are much more likely to actually wear the lid we think we look the bollocks in.... 

[madall]

Well Im gonna sell 3 bell moto 4's if anyone might be interested in them ... There all in used condition.

2 red and one blue as the mrs is giving me grief about them
