For that price, I'd go with a smaller brand. Assuming, since you're on this forum, that you'll be riding a 250, an HJC helmet is good enough. I would suggest upgrading to Arai or Shoei sometime, but HJC has worked for me, and several of their designs aren't bad looking. Under $200 though, you're probably not gonna find race quality helmets. I'd also suggest not buying off of eBay, as you can't guarantee that the helmet hasn't been damaged and won't be on the way to you. My motto for helmets as given to me by older riders and MSF rider-coaches is buy new from the dealer. It may be a bit more expensive than online, but you get a guarantee to go with it. Just my opinion of course.
