Motorcycle Helmets

HD: Unboxing OSBE Rufus Motorcycle Helmet

Just picked up my new OSBE Rufus XXL motorcycle helmet today that I got off eBay, so made this quick “unboxing” video. The similarities between this helmet an actual fighter pilot helmet is probably the main reason why I bought it in the first place. It is one kickass looking helmet. Complies with ECE 22.05 helmet safety laws in Europe, which means it’s allowed here in Canada by DOT or Snell standards. (The YouTube captions will make you laugh!) NOT recommended for long distance road trips, high-speed travel, or windy days. The mask isn’t held on securely so it may expose your mouth and chin during windy rides. As I experienced recently, the mask part of the helmet kept blowing open by the 100 km/h winds, so I kept getting bombarded by dirt/sand/pebbles.

Knowing What Makes Motorcycle Prices Zoom Up and Fall Down

Knowing What Makes Motorcycle Prices Zoom Up and Fall Down

By Max Manroe

If you wish to make a wise investment when purchasing a motorcycle, you should start by learning about the various factors that affect motorcycle prices and to what extent it’s able to affect them.

Factors Affecting Motorcycle Price :

1. Engine – The engine is arguably the most influential factor regarding motorcycle prices. Size, power, and type are properties of motorcycle engines that you should be most concerned. A bigger engine, for instance, may hamper your motorcycle’s speed. Power allows you to achieve greater performance but at greater risk to yourself because a powerful motorcycle is harder to control than one that’s designed for leisure driving only.

2. Level of Expertise – The level of expertise required to handle a particular motorcycle model also marginally affects motorcycle price. Expect motorcycles designed for the use of first-timers and beginners may be priced cheaper than those designed for experts and professionals. The reason behind this is simple: motorcycles for novices need fewer requirements to deliver customer satisfaction.

3. Type – The type of motorcycle you’re buying will also affect the price range that you’ll have to accommodate. There are various types of motorcycles on the market so you need to determine your purposes for buying a motorcycle before making any purchases.

Sports bikes are for speed junkies and look best when accessorized with lots of bling-blings; standard bikes on the other hand ensure that you reach work or home quickly but safely; motocross bikes are specifically designed for users fond of off-road travel; while cruiser bikes are the motorcycle industry’s version of show-type dogs like poodles and other toy dogs as opposed to those belonging to the sports or work classes.

4. Aesthetics and More – Lastly, the style and design of motorcycles also has an effect on its price. The materials used are just one of them. Expect motorcycle prices go up when additional modifications have been made such as the inclusion of an audio system and security alarms. Motorcycle prices which include insurance charges are naturally more expensive than those without although they may prove more affordable in the long run.

Brand name is definitely a factor since the motorcycle industry has its own hierarchy and in which names like Ducati and Harley Davidson reign supreme.

Now that you know all the factors affecting motorcycle prices, the only step left to take is determining which factors are most important for you and which motorcycle models are capable of meeting your expectations. Have fun with your big bike!
