That is a great looking helmet.  I'm surprised the are still for sale I thought Bell had finally discontinued them after having them for years.   Get the "Transitions" shield that changes with light conditions.  I have it and it is absolutely amazing.

Yes... Transition Shield is a must and comes with it. Total package is 250 for Devil May Care model...but they're both nice.  Don't match the bike but a great looking helmet.

That's a cool looking helmet.  Even if it was bright pink, it would still be cool.  On motorcycles, it's not a matter of if, but when you are going to get in a wreck.  Gotta protect that 3.5lbs of fat in your skull if you want to enjoy a long life.

Does anyone have experience using bluetooth helmets?
I trail ride on atv's weekly, and sometimes daily, and am looking to purchase a new hemet with bluetooth capabilities so that I can listen to music/answer calls while riding.
Bilt has the "Techno 2.0" hemet out and i like it but im wondering zbout sound quality...

Bilt is poor quality.

You can call our store if you want and talk to "Mike", in our parts department who is an expert on this, I am not.

you don't have to be buying here, just get some quality advice.

The 'Flying Tiger' certainly looks great :)

One minus point for me: as I commute daily in all kinds of weather, I would immediately switch the visor for a clear visor (dark visors are dangerous IMO when riding through a tunnel or whenever the light conditions decrease) equipped with a true anti-fog system similar to Pinlock.

+1 on the Flying Tiger. 

I also have a pinlock on my Shoei - it's yellow and my shield itself is clear. I echo deSelys's comments that you need to be mindful about darkened shields and recommend a clear shield with a pinlock type anti-fog. 

You'll appreciate a pinlock type of system on cool/cold, rainy and humid days.
