Serious question: Do helmet appreciate as collectors items?

That's a good question. As I have an original Eddie Lawson Shoei from the late 80's.
I'm pretty sure that after a certain time, helmets fall out of DOT compliance. Unsure if I worded that correctly or what the time frame is. But it rings a bell.

I keep mine because I just hate to throw it away, but I am afraid to use them.

Why would someone buy that many helmets? I had one for my first bike (2 years), and one when i bought the busa (2 years and going...).

While I do like helmets and that is an IMPRESSIVE collection, my first thought is as follows:

50 helmets
at an average price of $500
= $25,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

::11

I don't even have that to put into my bike, let alone for helmets that'll just sit on a shelf!

Wow.

Still, fun to look at that collection! :bowdown:

The collection would make sense if my initial inquiry proved true. If they hold some value, then it would be easy to get your money back. Otherwise it's a complete waste in my opinion.

I would sooner buy a new Busa to put in my garage.
