I have an SA2000 Bell M2, the predecessor of the M4, and have been very pleased with it. I wear spectacles, so the large eye port is helpful.
OK now that the new SA2010 helmets are out I think it is time to buy a new proper brain bucket. I'm mostly doing member days at MSR and maybe a few HPDE's but no sanctioned events. So are there any local shops that have a good selection so I can try some on that won't have me grabbin my ankles? I've been looking at saferacer.com and the Bell M4 SA2010 Auto Racing Helmet looks to fit the bill. Anyone have any insight or other suggestions?

On the track, I am fearless.

I also have an M2 and can't think of anything bad to say about it.
However, my Scorpion EXO 400 motorcycle helmet that I wear daily is lighter and more comfortable, and will probably cost less, but it is not SA rated.

If you don't mind SA2005 Bell is having a close out on them.

I picked up a Mag 4 and have been very happy with it. They have others on close out so look around the web site some.
I had a Pyrotect M2000 for about 2-3 years and it was not bad. Did the job, wasn't incredibly heavy, and was cheap. I retired it this year and tried a Zamp FSA-2 but neither the small or medium fit (both too small) and I normally wear either small or medium (borderline between the sizes). I picked up a ZeroNine carbon fiber helmet through a sponsorship deal and love it. Very comfortable, SA05, lightweight and only $400 bucks retail.
