[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 920092, member: 18388"] Papa I was at the show today.. no Kawasaki, no Norton's. Stopped at the BMW booth and the Schuberth booth, basically both the System 6 and C3 do not come with the comm system (optional extra). System 6 is $826, C3 is $718 (but I could have it for $699), comm system is BMW $480, C3 $399 (all plus 13% HST). There is a slight difference in style and a BMW sticker to justify the (ridiculous) difference in price. BMW will not pay for DOT testing, ECE only, therefore the System 6 will never be DOT approved. I tried a C3 on, and I was impressed. It is a superior modular, but I can't justify (yet) spending that much for a helmet that is supposed to be disposed of in 5 years. I ran into Yamafitter, and we both agreed that your head is not nearly square enough to fit into a System 6 nor is it worth the extra. You'd have to have a lot of intravenous KoolAid before you could have one........ [/QUOTE]
