I like the Sun styled graphics better .. but why are you looking at only the entry level ones ??

Unless you have personally seen/used the bell star and like it - I would ask you to skip it. The shell looks huge. Imagine a slim body with a huge helmet - it just looks awkward but hey if protection/function is what you strive for then by all means go for it.

I would suggest the RS-1 though. It has an amazing liner a smaller profile and as good as the star lineup.

Entry level? :confused:
No one tell Rossi his lid is "entry level"

LOL... In all seriousness I just like the way the AGV fits and I love it got a 5-star Sharp rating. Havent tried the Bell and no intention to try it unless the opportunity arises but it sure gets a lot of love here as it is mentioned quite a bit and has a good following.

To each their own, which is just what makes this all so much fun!!
 
out of the 2 from the OP, I like the turtle the best.

My all time favorite is still the "my face" helmet from Mugello:

ignore talk about which helmet "matches" better. its a rossi helmet--it doesnt match with anything. its not supposed to.

my choices were narrowed down to the exact same two as you. i decided to go with the soleluna.
 
Either one is good. My favourite helmet at the moment is my x lite carbon 802r, I have shoei's, hjc, suomy, (aria doesn't fit my head shape), and my x lite is the comfiest helmet I have had.

So I have an Arai lid and am getting a hotspot on the forehead. It is definitely my size and have even tried the larger cheek pads but still too much room in the cheeks and forehead pressure.

Enter AGV...

So got the chance to ride with the pista and the corsa and I am in love. However, I have gone from the plain carbon pista, to the corsa turtle and now at the soleluna corsa. Not going to provide a review here but just going to say aerodynamics are amazing (better than Shoei, Arai for me at least) with no head bobbing even at 110mph. My Arai would start at 70ish. Venting is SUPERB and love that it does not look 5 sizes too big like the Shoei.

Anyway... I love these two graphics the most. Can't decide what looks better with the new jacket and bike. Please weigh in!!!
who makes those riding sock? the hotspot is probable from the type of macara you are using try this my wife likes it

Voted Turtle.

Both look good, but the Turtle will be less common. There will always be a sun/moon themed Rossi helmet available - his "special editions" are the way to go, assuming the design is to your liking (which you said it is).

As for matching, your bike is white and your gear is black; anything will be fine. Plus, who cares? :)
