so when i bought my bike the guy threw in a couple of kbc helmets, i guess that's the brand that super bike guy uses, since the star logos match up, but how good are they? and are they expensive, i mean, he just gave to me with a pair of boots

the thing you want to look at with helmets is whether they are dot/snell aproved. brand and price doesnt matter as much as the safety ratings.

Are they new or used?  If used just give them a good looking over to see if it looks like they have been in any good hits or crashes.  Helmets are basically disposable once they have had a hard hit.

they will either be stamped inside or on the bottom of the back of the helmet
