The USA is no cheaper for Arai or Shoei. I know, I have tried. Australia is significantly cheaper. i bought an RX7 for 249 GBP and a Quantum for about 180 GBP. Obviously they don't have the ACU gold stickers ... but then that is a UK thing isn't it.
The RX7 got written off in a crash , and the insurance paid for a brand new "kosher" one.
PS .. it was the same fitment, quality and finish as a Euro on, so don't believe the carp spouted by Arai et al.
All you have to do is go to Oz !
