Does this helmet match my bike too much?

What do you guys think? I need a new helmet and after trying on all sorts in all price ranges, through 3 different stores, it seems like this one fits me the best. Scorpion EXO-500. I'd like a graphic helmet since my current one is plain white. Problem is that besides this design, all the other designs I like are black based, which I don't want. This design is the closest I can find to being acceptable, but do u think it's too matchy? Poser? Or just right?

Works fine. Looks like it was made for the red R3.

Here's the same EXO-500 Corsica model for the blue R3

And a Scorpion EXO-R710 Ardent for the black R3

Ha, talk about matching up colors... I have the AGV S4

the blue match is like 99% perfect. Plus the white and silver.

(first day pic) eww, I remember that fender...long since removed, among others

I think the helmet will look great with the bike, and if by "poser" you mean that others may think you are a safety conscious rider that cares about proper helmet fit and having an integrated color scheme for greater visibility, then yes, you will be a "poser".

I like it. Fits good and looks good is a good combo. Cool factor goes up in my book

Unless you are riding around with graphics on the helmet that say Yamaha R3, I think you're fine with any color.
