Very true. A friend of my uncle was decapitated after hitting a truck. No idea what helmet he was wearing but it's performance was obviously irrelevant. I was simply trying to illustrate that the test speed used is a little on the low side compared to the capabilities of modern bikes. Maybe my viewpoint is only relevant to sportsbike riders who are much more likely to throw themselves into a field but let's be honest, no-one buys an R1 or any other litre sports bike to ride at legal speeds.

 . I'd pay to watch that.
I always try to pay below list too and don't buy into paying over the odds because some Moto GP or WSB rider gets paid to wear one. I don't buy ones with graphics or iridium visors either as I don't feel the need to look like a power-ranger.
I'm not going to ignore these tests as they do have some validity, but I'll certainly be cross-referencing them with other tests before I part with any cash.
