Helmet review: Arai RX-7 GP

Michael Neeves, 30 April 2012 11:44

Arai RX-7 GP. £649.99Time used: Three years What’s good: This is my everyday lid – the classic white with a black visor combo.

Michael Neeves, 01 November 2009 13:02

I’ve recently completed several hundred road miles and the first three sessions of a Brands Hatch track day on Dunlop’s Qualifier RR rubber.
