I've got a slightly older VR-1 Euro, love it - nice fit, nice style. On top of that, took some scrapes when that douche ran into the side of me - from the impact i originally figured it would look ALOT worse than it does. Some scuff marks and some paint chipping, thats all.

Still buying another helmet, but I gotta say, I like the KBC's.

My last helmet was a VR-1 Euro. It fit nice, but the shield wouldn't seal closed for some reason. Dust and air would constantly flow in my helmet, got annoying real quick. I wasn't able to figure out what the actual cause of it was so I just sold it to someone as a spare.

Thats odd. My VR1 worked nicely imho. I get nice air with the vents open, closed off when close - other than that, the typical under the helmet bit of air...

But I never had any issue with it closing correctly. I wouldve taken it back for a replacement.

I have a KBC TK7 as a spare, and have been wearing it a lot lately. I like the fit, and the price is right, so I just ordered another one, the 2005 Force S, Airborne version. I like them.

I tried on a KBC, it did have a good fit, but the Arai fit better.
