    I've got the Roof RO10 Diversion, same star rating as your's.

    Original RRP is £245, I paid £75 from Infinity (ex Motorcycle Shitty) when they were having a one day clearance sale
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    I've got a shoei too but only 4 stars for a near £400 lid is a bit gutting though when you consider a Lazer LZ6 got 5 stars for under £60.

    ah, but if the shoei is a better fit for you then it will give you more protection.

    a 2star perfect fit will be safer than a 5star poorly fitting helmet

    Totally agree, but I bet the Lazer isn't a bad fit. Some people may find the Lazer is an even better fit than the shoei and win on all counts.

    I had one years ago and it was a nice helmet. I do find the Shoei's are much better built in terms of lining quality etc and so will last the life of the helmet rather than go mouldy and smelly so I'm not too sour grapes.


    Worth keeping an eye on though when looking for a new lid.
    Good site.
