bell magnum super

Tak dinafikan, bagi dunia dua roda, perkara yang paling penting selepas memiliki motosikal adalah mencari helmet yang paling sesuai.

Seperti kebiasaan, sesi pemilihan helmet paling memeningkan kepala kerana selain daripada mencari yang berkualiti, aspek rekaan dan warna juga perlu diambil kira.

Dalam pasaran ketika ini, terdapat pelbagai jenis helmet ditawarkan, ada yang bermula serendah RM50 dan ada juga yang mencecah lebih RM15 ribu seperti Arai RX-7V Racing Carbon.

Namun, percaya atau tidak, terdapat helmet yang mencecah harga puluhan ribu ringgit? Menariknya, helmet dimaksudkan itu bukanlah dalam keadaan baru sebaliknya berstatus terpakai.

Seorang penjual di laman e-dagang popular tempatan menjual sebuah helmet vintaj Bell Magnum Super dengan harga RM65,000!

Helmet tersebut tampil dengan warna jingga dengan kemasan getah berwarna hitam di samping tulisan magnum berwarna kelabu. Logo Bell juga terpampang di bahagian atas helmet tersebut.

Melihat kepada ‘padding’ jelas bahagian tersebut tidak lagi berada dalam keadaan dara maka tidak hairanlah status helmet tersebut diletakkan sebagai ‘terpakai’.

Kami bukanlah pakar dalam menilai barangan vintaj seperti ini akan tetapi mungkin penjual ada sebab tersendiri kenapa helmet tersebut dijual pada harga tinggi.

Like everything else in life, the world of motorcycle helmets is also related to expensiveness, especially when the helmet comes with a particular design and number of units.

  • A vintage Bell Magnum Super helmet is on sale for RM65,000. 

  • the made in USA product is not in a pristine condition. 

Also sometimes, some helmets are determined by their age, the older it is – in addition with how many are being built, of course – the expensive it gets.

But can you imagine a helmet that cost around the same as a full size motorcycle?

Well, here you go. A seller on a popular e-commerce platform in Malaysia is selling this vintage Bell Magnum Super helmet for RM65,000.

Let us also remind you that the helmet on sale is not new, instead it’s in a preloved/used state. So imagine the price tag if the helmet is in an immaculate, straight out of the box condition?

 

With that price, you can actually purchase a very low mileage Ducati Hypermotard 950 from Mudah.my, so let that sink in.

Also, the most exclusive and helmet in present time, the Arai RX-7V RC Carbon – said to be the culmination of all the years of Arai’s experience – only cost around EUR3,200 (RM14k).

So what makes the vintage Bell Magnum Super so expensive? Well, we are not experts when it comes to vintage piece but perhaps there are valid reason why it carries an astonishing high price.
