How much is this used motorcycle gear worth?
Oct 14, 2008 by John S | Posted in Motorcycles
I'm buying some utilized gear and want to know if it's worth the price. Offered for $300 (this is in Canada and Canadian currency) is a large HJC helmet, mid-sized zox helmet, large shift leather jacket and large shift gloves. It's all one season old and in good condition. Is the appraisal of $300 reasonable?
Don't upon a secondhand helmet, you don't know if it has been dropped, a simple drop onto solid ground can render it unsuccessful but leave no indication, the polystyrene inner flexes under impact to absorb and spread the smashing, it does not reform, the outer shell might appear fine without even a mark. Also, if it doesn't fit politely it is almost as good as useless, since everyone's heads are different shapes and sizes after a year's wear it is purposes shaped to the previous owner's head.

Jacket and gloves should be okay, but again any armour in the jacket might have been compressed, fortunately it can be replaced sort of easily.
