I believe it's fine - just as with a car - as long as its not at a level that would prevent you from hearing emergency services' sirens.. but I might be wrong..??

yeh thout so thanks guys. probly loook like a right rookie askin stuff like this but better now than lookin like a nob infront of a cop or somthin later on

It is legal but I wouldn't put it on in city/town driving.

I use it when on the motorway or dual carriageways over longer distances. All you can hear is wind noise anyways so I think it is acceptable.

On back roads, towns, cities or any built up area I would highly not recommend it. You need can hear much more things at that speed.

What helmet speakers have you got? Any links?

I used my ipod headphones and the sound quality is bad above 60mph.

no question on this site should be a daft one. as far as music goes. just get a bigger bike change the exhaust and listen to the engine. no car drivers can truely do that.

[steve-d]

Note the word should

Which is why I drive around bouncing the divvy off the limiter, you can just about hear it then.
