My dad has an HJC CL-14 the previous owner of his Ninja included in the sale of the bike. I think that helmet was worth something like $130 - $150 new. That helmet is DOT and Snell approved. I wear a CS-10 (also HJC) that we got from Machines in Motion for something like $96. It's only DOT approved, but not Snell. I only ride bitch on his bike so we don't do a lot of daring riding so I think my helmet doest he job. I really wouldn't mind something like a Ninja 250 or an old Honda 400 for myself.

Remember kids! No skid lids! Rigid full face ONLY!
