Re: Why Can't We Get This Here
These are from HJC.
They are HJC AC12 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX HELMET. Mcleods are the importer but this model is not currently on order.
Spoke to Mcleods and the guy that answered was a member of KSRC so he is going to put up a post to check out the demand.

Re: Why Can't We Get This Here
You could order directly from the UK and have it sent here. Costs about 20-25 quid to have it shipped depending on size etc.
Kawasaki are poor at selling their merchandise, its hard to find and nobody holds any stock. At the recent Sydney bike show, all the other manufacturers were selling merchandise off the stand - except Kawasaki. Honda and Suzuki were 3 and 4 deep at their stands with guys and gals handing over hard cash for goodies. Kawasaki were giving away posters... When will they learn that they are not only missing out on revenue but they are failing to spread their branding.

They wouldn't be AS certified, and therefore be illegal. Shame though.

Re: Why Can't We Get This Here
Got a Shoei RF900 about 18 months ago in green white black and grey. Very comfortable, low wind noise and tested it against tarmac at over 200 ks. worked well.

Re: Why Can't We Get This Here
What are the legalities/ramifications of having a helmet that is not AS1698 certified even if the same helmet is being sold here fully certified?
