they also released the black ant but in the rf1200 (i guess cause its cheaper) both helmets look great.

wish the replica had the little gold 1 on it. also wish it was an 12 but im getting it anyway
 
I like the look of the black one, kinda wished they would've released the controversial one though haha
 
Very very upset the black one didn't release in x12... So upset I'm mad at you mark matter of fact it's probably your fault guess I gotta stick to Arai corsair v

i have the original marquez ant x12 helmet is so nice fits great. i think the rf1200 is basically the x12 now and i believe an updated x12 or x13 is coming soon but dont quote me.

i already have the marquez x12 i preordered the black ant rf1200 and i have a bell star carbon laguna seca red bull limited edition.

i sold all my other helmets and crashed one
 
What face

the libs in this country went nuts over the helmet released for motegi. the face is on the back of the helmet. keep in mind shoei and honda are both japanese and the fans bought the shirts like crazy. the shirts are still being purchased on motogp.com. graphics are below the shirt says chosen one. bottom line is shoei took the face off now there is a big 93 thats the difference

Hey, I resemble that graphic :D

And yeah, it's pretty ....... offensive. Growing up as one of 2 Asians in my redneck Florida school, I used to beat the .... out of kids that used to do that to my face. Guess I still got a chip on my shoulder.

thats the way to do it jeff knock the crap out of them, i feel you on that. however this was over there and I know a guy that was in japan for that race and they took it as he wanted to be japanese and took it as a compliment. the shirts were flying out the store. guess 2 different cultures 2 different outcomes

remember this had to be approved. honda and shoei both and both are japanese companies

I guess that's the difference. I'm Filipino and all the other non-Japanese Asians hate the Japanese for all their WWII and previous atrocities perpetrated on us. Nobody in the region thinks like them so it makes sense they would have liked the gesture. Idiots.

Edit: Haha, after reading what I wrote, I realized how racist I'm being! Guess racism is just human nature so I should just toughen the F up and take what I dish out!

It appears the Red Bull and Lotus advertisement graphics will not be incorporated into the Black Ant helmet design, as displayed in the original post. 'Tis a shame as I think it looks great with the sponsors, but will probably be picking one up regardless.

The actual design is pictured below:

I like the look of this new NXR model from Shoei. Lighter, better vented, street orientated, but with a very sporty look.

Hope it fits me well, as my hopes are pinned to it as a long overdue replacement to my Corsair.

very true nor will the gold 1 be there either on the back . however its very easy to duplicate. my visor says lotus and gives you wings. and i have the louts as well on my x 12
 
here are pictures of my helmet. the visor i have not gotten yet (transition shield) but i have the stickers on my bell. anyway the lotus is a little smaller than what marquez has because his is painted on and i have to work around the vents and curves and such but came out pretty good. if i wanted the real one it would have to be expanded .5 in everywhere (letters arrow length etc) but with the vent very hard to do.

Nothing wrong with it, just my Pedrosa is >5yrs old, so needs to be replaced.

Also, in Arai I need the XL shell, which is massive, then I need to sleeve it down with new guts, so it fits tight. I have no idea why the L doesn't even go on my head :confused:
