because it'll look stupid on my 250cc grasstracker

Any normal solid colour helmet will look fine. Stop worrying.

Honestly, if you can't afford multiple helmets, just buy one good normal one with the appropriate features for your riding.

Here is a normal black Arai fitting in perfectly with a vintage leather jacket and Cally highway scene:

I was tempted to say this, as long as it's not too angular/aggressive I think it will work. Even having a solid retro colour could help (Joey Dunlop yellow)? When I see neo-retro bikes with a painfully try-hard helmet, with matching yellow bubble visor it makes me cringe a little. Bear in mind this is coming from a rider who waxes lyrically about having an Italian bike because it has ‘soul’ and ‘character’.

Obviously it is great you now get safe, practical and good looking accessories like gloves and jackets but a lot of the other stuff is strictly insta and makes you look like a tool irl.

(I ride a retro twin and wear a retro waxed jacket in the winter)
