Darth Maul. I hate Shoei's graphics, but that is the best one out of the two.

Definitely Darth Maul, Just a cleaner looking helmet. The other one has way to much going on.

me too, as of late...

Last helmet I got and loved the graphics on was in 2009, I've held off since then but its finally time for a new one and these are the only ones I could see myself wearing.

Darth Maul, for the simple reason its more noticeable and will help drivers see you.

plain white. because it doesn't matter how cool you look when drivers can't see you. Unless it's an off-road helmet, then who cares.


but if I have to chose from those two, the darth maul looking one.

Drivers aren't going to see red and black.

The "Darth" helmet also comes with neon yellow stripes instead of red.

I wish Shoei made totally neon yellow helmet.... The closest they come is straight yellow. Which is indeed very visible.

I've posted before why I decided to always wear a neon helment. It's because there's this guy I pass often on my way to work, on the parkway. We commute in opposite directions.

He's got one of those straight yellow Shoeis... not neon. I can see him literally a half mile away. Very noticeable.

you don't need to go obnoxious neon to be visible. white has actually been proven to be more visible in more conditions than neon colors (think heavy rain). White reflects the most amount of light possible and also, will not blend in with any background (except snow I guess, but lets be honest... how often are you riding with snow covering everything?)

Darth Maul, it just looks so much better. Plus the red/black works better with your jacket.
