Motostorm....for real?
Anyone here ever order from Motostorm in Italy? Their prices seem too good to be true. $200 less on Shoei helmets than here in the states? How can that be? I've read reviews online that say they are legit, with the only negatives being that it may take longer to ship things to the states. I can see them being cheaper for items for European companies like Alpinestars...but for Japanese companies like Shoei...how can they do it? Just wanted to confirm with the good people on this forum if anyone has used them and what their experience was. Thanks.

Re: Motostorm....for real?
Actually, I ended up ordering my helmet from Amazon. Even tho Motostorm was cheaper, there is a VAT added when it arrives from Italy. But the VAT varies wildly depending on who you talk to. Plus the delivery time is much longer, and sometimes the item gets hung up in customs even longer. Figured it wasn't worth the risk.
