Hello guys, I'm planning to get CB250R around end of year and am looking at HJC helmet. Should I go for IS17/C70/I70 (same shell just old and new version) or save my wallet with CS15?

HJC FB just announced a new dealer in PJ, opposite Honda Big Wing PJ.
GoBikeToday, Jalan PJS 1/28, Taman Petaling Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

For jackets, maybe Bikeworld Old Klang Road and hope you can find some offers.
If you're planning to import then target something below 500 to avoid SST and duty, xlmoto or fc moto maybe. Shipping is around RM100-160 so your jacket better be around 70/80usd max.

Thanks. Yea initially I was looking at Bell Qualifier but saw a lot of comment about the noise and I had done research on Sharp rating as well and Qualifier got just 3*. Direct competition would be CS15 with sharp 4* which is better and slightly cheaper. The most I can stretch is IS17/C70 with the 1k price tag but kena save up a bit more. Itchy for IS17/C70 coz it's in Fortnine's best helmet list as well (bcoz of the 5* sharp rating). The only thing is I don't see much hi viz colorway from HJC but not dealbreaker la, I can still get something white or bright.

Qualifier doesn't have chin cover. Only DLX and above has it.

One of the con I've read everywhere about Qualifier is it is noisy as hell, and Qualifier's SHARP rating was just 3*.

However, it's definitely one of the considerations for entry lvl helmet. As for the DLX model, I rather get C70 at that price point.
