Motorcycle Helmets in New York

November 7, 2009 7:52 AM

What shop in New York City has the largest range of Motorcycle Accessories, specifically helmets?

Currently visiting family in New York from Australia, and really want to pick up a Nolan Motorcycle Helmet this week. Nolan's own site has a pretty poor/non-existent retailer list, and due to the the limited time I am here, I turn to the hive.

I have a car, and can go pretty much anywhere in Long Island/Manhattan, so if anyone knows of a shop that has a huge/wide range of helmets in store, it would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Well, I don't know of a specific shop, but this is a list of all the motorcycle shops in the NYC metropolitan area.

Finding a motorcycle shop is no problem... But finding one with a decent range of accessories, including helmets, is what I am really after. I only have 5 days here, and I could spend weeks going through that list :)

Found 2:

Camrod Motorsports on 48th and 11th avenue.

Cross Country BMW in New Jersey.

There aren't any big accessory superstores in NYC, and the other big place I can think of (Cycle Therapy) doesn't carry Nolan.

Good luck!

I know that this is a bit far, but Revzilla has an incredible store in Philadelphia, PA (http://www.revzilla.com/philadelphia-motorcycle-store). Here is the address;
38 Jackson St
Suite 100
Philadelphia, PA 19148.
They did have some Nolan helmets, but as I was looking at other manufacturer I wasn't really paying attention when I was there earlier this week to know which ones they had in stock. But they have an excellent selection of items for sale there. Where cross country BMW is there is also a Honda/Vespa Shop on the same grounds that is expansive. They have a lot of items as well, but I don't think they carry Nolan. CC BMW is really small and doesn't have much selection, but Rich the parts buyer is super cool. Plus its Ducati and BMW paradise if thats your thing. Honestly, the only two I would bother with are the Revzilla store or CC BMW/Honda. Email me as I'll be in Philly either Monday or Tuesday if you're especially bad with directions. Good luck!
