Roeg Peruna
This looks great, by far one of there best looking classic moto helmets I've seen! I'm bound to want to goggle up at some stage so will keep this in mind!
Nexx XG100R
Glad to hear a second person vouch for these, I didn't know what to make of them as I wasn't familiar with Nexx at all but my colleague who's a lifelong biker, used to work in the trade for years etc. rates them also so duly noted!
Bell Eliminator
Can't decide if I'd get on with the styling on these... They're possibly a bit "Screaming Eagle Road Glide" for me but I'll see if I can get to have a peep at one in the flesh. Shame as all of my cycling helmets are Bell and I get on really well with them including Full 9.

Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but IMO the Ex-zero is wayyyyy uglier than the Bullit. Although its much nicer in the flesh than in product shots.
@Vince the Bell fit is quite odd, its very round rather than the usual oval shape. Though this is altered on Moto3 helmets these days, for some reason. And the Eliminator doesn't seem to suffer from it as much.
@Nahguavkire I've spent a day in a Bell Eliminator and really rate it, very light and comfortable, though the look is an acquired taste and needing that separate plug plate for rainy days is a bit dumb, particularly since they describe it as a "no BS" helmet.
I don't rate the Premier ones personally, if anything I think they're overpriced - the Trophy is no better than a Gringo S. I want to cull them from the offering work, but they bought me back by supplying half decent lifestyle shots unlike 90% of other brands.
I ride in a Nexx XG100R for 'proper' journeys and I'm very happy with it. Very tempted by that chrome Eliminator though...
Wildcard goggle use option: Roeg Peruna. Goes with everything, the Roeg guys are hilarious.
