A 3/4 helmet would finish the look.

Momo helmets are retro-modern and lightweight. I love their look, and they're super light.

the momo's look cool but Nexx are less expensive and just as cool/well made
Nexx X60 Vintage Helmet - RevZilla

im 18, so i dont want anything too old man like, but nothing that dosent suit the bike,

the momo's are a bit expensive :0

lets say i have 200$ to spend MAX, although saftey dosent carry a price, lets just say 200$

Check out the Nolan N20 and N30, they are under $200 and have that old school look and graphics..
Not the best or worst fit but i grab it more often than my Arai's and suomy.

You still have plenty of time to decide. Your riding season must be about 60 days, top......LOL

I think it was a Bell helmet advertisement many years ago
But don't be offended

" If you go a $10 head you buy a $10 dollar helmet"

Never compromise on a Helmet, checkout some of the ace cafe look and style
for ideas

I have a Nolan N30 that I use when riding my little 50cc scooter. There is just a bit of padding that goes over the ears. It is loud but livable at 35mph. Don't think I would want to do freeway speeds with it w/o earplugs.

I think they might be discontinued because I don't see them on Nolan's site anymore. You might still find someone that still has stock.

Although it may not look the part on a classic machine, I always wear the best full face helmet available. Even when riding my 1910 veteran I wear a full face helmet. You can end up dead or brain damaged from a walking pace fall.
I used to wear a beanie or no headwear when I first started riding as helmets were not compulsory. My parents insisted I buy a helmet, so to keep them happy I bought one. A week after buying the helmet and while only doing about 20kph I was hit by a taxi and flung backwards off my motorcycle. I landed on the road on the back of my head. If I hadn't been wearing a helmet I would be dead.
