I'm partial to Shoei myself, but my biggest advice on helmets is to go to a store and try out the fit on many different helmets until you find the correct fit. The correct fit should not be too loose. If the helmet isn't nice and snug (while still comfy!), it could possibly roll off your head in the event of contact with the pavement. Shoei helmets fit my head shape very well, so it's the brand I stick with.

Make sure the helmet carries Snell M2010 or M2015 certification.

I took MSF Basic rider course two years ago. I was new to riding. Now I absolutely love it. Since I've been a city commuter with minimal highway trips, my CBR250R has lasted me a long time. I'm just now shopping around for a bigger bike, something in the Sport-Touring category.
