My guess is that it will not be available in the USA.

I like the helmet, as far as available in the US, not a problem. That can be handled.

The superlight was £700 here in the UK, but it did not have any fancy integral bits, which of course woulod have made it the not so superlight.

Available in the US? probably not a problem if you spend some $$$.

Legal in the US? Highly doubtful seeing how BMW stopped bringing in the Concept to our litigious society.
