There are a lot of race replicas that I'd like to own/wear. The above is not one of them.

+1 Great celebration helmet...but I don't care enough about the "event" to buy one. I usually don't pay to advertise someone else's product/sponsor....sometimes there's no choice though.

I don't think many replicas come with official sponsor logos.

I bought a Shoei X-12 Kagayama but had to return it because the fit wasn't for my head (i'm more round shape) so I settled on an Arai RX-Q Streak instead.

Not contesting, but why do YOU hate him? I am not much of a fan but 'fack' is he talented! He 'poosh verdy hard!'

Also, I agree with Mina. I don't believe that manufacturers 'can' and or 'can afford' to license the rights to use sponsor logos. Anyone have more on this?

It's a great looking helmet IMHO. 24k Gold, nice graphics, and a Shoei!

Did someone say it's available on the market? The photos are showing the actual helmet worn by MM.

Some do, sort of. JL's for example. Although, Monster is the only logo shown.

No. Nothing with pathetically bad advertising on it.

A false assumption. I don't think it's available as shown. I believe you are correct; it's as worn by MM. I imagine it could be a good seller as is, but I doubt it'll be released as is if at all (MMs 2013 version was not...I think)!
