I have a vintage YZ125 that I restored and needed a new helmet. I saw the Bell Moto 3’s and knew I had to have one. It looks retro, like I want, and it is very comfortable! Well worth it!

Just needs duct tape over the fasteners where the peak meets the lid to complete the retro look. Cracking helmet

Yeah, when I used to race this bike, I had an open face red, white and blue Hondaline helmet with Scott goggles and face grill with the requisite duck tape on the visor joint. I haven’t ridden in the dirt on this 1981 YZ125 since 1985. A long time ago!

My first "real mx" helmet was a yellow Bell Moto III in 1982. The dealer painted it for me similar to this one Marty Smith was wearing when he was with Suzuki. I wish I had kept it!!

I got to see Marty Smith race at the track in St. Peter’s Missouri back in the 70’s. My brother had a giant poster of him jumping on his Honda from the year he won the championship back in the 70’s.

The new Moto 3's are great! Don't know why everyone isn't wearing them in post-vintage racing.

Very nice!!! My original helmet, back in the day, was an open face Hondaline red white and blue helmet. I like that color scheme!

I was looking at the new Moto 3, but I had a REALLY bad concussion in the OG one so I decided not to get it. I was thinking maybe the LS2 retro helmet. At least it has MIPS and some modern safety features.

The new helmet looks like the original but is modern in every other way. I love mine.
