Norton Motorcycles and Arai Helmets have united to produce this new Arai RX-7 GP Norton Replica helmet. The helmet is available exclusively through the site of the legendary British motorcycle brand, and the top-of-the-range helmet is already on sale, in honour of the 2009 Tourist Trophy.

Deliveries aren’t expected before December, so you’ll have to wait before you can wear it. The helmet design is inspired by the Norton NRV588 which raced in this year’s TT. It features black colour with “Norton” gold writing, the Union Jack flag and chequered botoom border. The helmet differs only in design, with the physical characteristics the same as the standard helmet.

The Arai RX-7 Norton costs 590 pounds, nearly 900 euros, and is available in sizes XS to XXL. The helmet is covered by a five year guarantee. See Norton Racing for how to order.

Arai has introduced a limited edition Haga Monza version of their new RX-7 GP helmet.

The helmet will be available in a limited run of 200 examples, with a unique paint job by Aldo Drudi. Haga used this specific helmet to celebrate his 250th WSBK race at Monza. The design features a large outline of the Monza circuit map on the very top, surrounded by its geographical coordinates. On both sides of the helmet, Nori’s ‘NKI41’ logo is depicted in both the Japanese and Italian flags while a caricature of ‘Nitro Nori’ wheelying a tractor completes the rear.

The Haga Monza edition lids will be on sale and expected to be delivered by September 2009 and buyers also get an extra, a T-shirt signed by Noriyuki Haga.

So if you’re a Samurai of Slide fan, why not check out an Arai dealer, because this is going to be a collectors item.

2009 brings some daring design from Arai, with this Chaser Jolly Roger pirate motorcycle helmet; a style that should certainly set you apart from the crowd with the classic skull and crossbones symbol.

The mean-looking helmet is perfect for anyone wanting a gothic or dark touch to their bike style, and the graphics will be available on Chaser models, as well the top range VX-3 models in limited series. The Chaser Jolly Roger from Arai has sizing from XS to XXL and sells for about 549 euros.
