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

[Stevo]

Fellas,

These helmets are up for sale on eBay. I remember the Moto III was the helmet to have in 80's, but not sure if the new Moto 7 is good for BMX.

I know the Bellistic model is designed for BMX, but surely the Moto 7 is a stronger helmet, but probably heavier. Bellistics usual sell new for £60, so £90 for these Motos must be a good deal.

Having ridden a few parks with an open face, I want a full face for more protection.

Here's the eBay link:

Help/comments appreciated as always. Wishing all the members great festive season!

nice i like a bell on my head do you have black?

[Stevo]

I am not the seller. I would like members opinions about these helmets before I buy one. But, yes the seller has them in black too. Cheers

you cant go wrong with a bell  however seems a bit cheap

[jeff spicoli]

That does seem very cheap for a very good helmet. I would get one if I wore full face.

[Mattdub]

Harris has one , pm him

He thinks its cool

I've still got my old Moto 4 somewhere around here, although I haven't seen it for about 15 years... 

[retrorider.u.k]

still have my red moto 4 and red mag 4 

[Dingobmxer]

I had one, had it custom sprayed but snapped the chin peice off it face planting on Mansfields tracks rythm section a few years back, pretty sure it saved my life (or at least stopped me from being (more of a) a cabbage)
Buy one you know it makes sense  

[madall]

I still have a few of em lying around, got another red one too somewhere



Brillant Lids

[Trev]

They still look the biz now! 

[harris]

[P0LL0]

I had a Moto7, sold it to Pete Quad....PaulM wears one, TwobobRob wears one and so does Dave Mirra.... Bloody good lid if yer like a full face

Like the look of that white moto7
 Ive been using a moto4 for the past 2 years, better than troy lee

They are the Moto 7 K , the cheaper moto 7 that bell made , or should i say the company that bought bell helmets off bell , so they are like cheap copys , should be ok tho . Bell have now rebought there company back (a while ago now) and there is nothing like a Moto 7 R what is what ya want . And look better in my view .

Go to Bell Helmets and import one , who cares about price , like how much is ya head and face worth to you ? They are doing some good deals at the moment . Sale prices work out to be about £75 for helmet with free fleece bag and shipping cost works out about £25

and youl pay more when it lands or not?

[Obbie]

Shipping cost i've been quoted in the past from bell was $55 what is approx £25 - £30 as i said approx , Maybe more now , and yes you may pay more or not when it arrives (import tax , customs etc) But who cares about a couple of quid here and there ? I don't work for bell so what i said wasn't to be taken literaly ! I was giving you all an idea of about £100 inc postage and your saying about £115 inc postage , woopy doo , an extra £15 quid more than i said , big deal , or should i say a good deal to get a proper moto 7R that will keep your good looks and scull in good shape !

For goodness sake some of you are so anal ! I was just trying to put a little of my knowledge into this site and help a few people thats why i put the links on here for anyone to find out all the proper details for them selfs . Der da der ... 

[madall]

No probs Obbie I have just bot 2 of them, not sure of the difference between the 7 and the 7R, hopefully there will not be too much import duty

[THE TUF*NECK]

im the site analiser 

[Obbie]

7 and 7R just seems to be the peak and padding i think ? Thay both look cool , just don't like the overall shape of the 7K , to much differance in the shape and as i said before i'm sure it was made by the other company that owned bell for a short time , don't know if that is all true , it's just what i was told by a rep i seen when i was in florida last year ,  

[Obbie]

Cool man ,  site analiser , i wasn't throwing a dig at you , but as i said i was only trying to put a bit of imput into the site and help people , and i think people are aware that importing stuff can pose a problem with customs and put extra costs on top , but if they don't thats good advise mr site analiser  , so all take notice of this !
