UPDATE: Motorola Press Release on the wireless helmet headset:
Motorola and MOMODESIGN today announced their first Bluetooth enabled motorcycle helmet that will make it possible for motorcycle riders to scoot around town and stay connected.
Built on the award-winning design of Motorola’s popular HS810, the wireless helmet headset is the latest addition to Motorola’s leading portfolio of stylish and innovative Bluetooth products.
The best-dressed riders are already wearing MOMODESIGN’s helmets, and now they can stay in touch whilst looking good, as the new helmet marries MOMODESIGN’s distinctive style and innovative design with Motorola’s technology expertise. The helmet is stylish and open-faced, its design draws inspiration from air force pilots helmets, with anti-scratch visor and carbon fibre details for fashion conscious people with a modern approach to travel and city life.
Whether chatting to friends or work, the Motorola / MOMODESIGN helmet means riders will no longer get tangled up in awkward wires getting on and off their bikes. Taking and making calls is easy as all functions (answer, end, redial, voice dial and volume) can be made from the cover on the helmet.
An essential accessory for urbanites who demand to stay in touch at all times, whether in the car, on a bike, in the office or at home. The Motorola / MOMODESIGN helmet offers you seamless communication due to the unique headset module. There need be no break in the conversation when you get off the bike – just remove the headset module from the helmet, attach it to the neck loop and continue talking – no one will even know you’ve changed location!
The Motorola wireless helmet headset is manufactured with a noise reducing microphone to help minimise traffic and wind noise when riding at highway speed, as well as a cover designed to withstand whatever nature throws at you.
The battery lasts for up to five hours talktime and 100 hours standby time, so you won’t need to charge it too often. When you do, just remove the headset module from the helmet and plug in!
Bruce Hawver, Vice President and General Manager, Companion Products, Motorola commented: “Motorola’s working on many different technologies to offer consumers the ability to stay in touch at all times, no matter where they go, or how they get there. Our new wireless helmet headset is one of our first products that fit this category. In addition, this particular product serves as further affirmation of our commitment to lead in Bluetooth technology.
We are pleased to be able to offer this to motorcycle riders in partnership with MOMODESIGN.”
Paolo Cattaneo, Vice President and General Manager, MOMODESIGN added: “Our customers choose our helmets for their cutting edge design and safety features. We’ve set high standards and consequently our customers are always expecting more so it’s exciting to be working with Motorola to now offer cutting edge technology to help our riders stay in touch on their bikes whether it be for work or pleasure.”
The Motorola wireless helmet headset also will be available as an aftermarket kit. The kit, containing the helmet adapter (microphone, speaker, cover), Bluetooth headset module, lanyard and charger, would easily attach to a consumer’s own helmet with the included strong 3M adhesive. Both solutions are universal, making them compatible with any Bluetooth enabled handset.
Availability is expected in early Q1 2005.

Those helmets would cost quite some dough right ?
i've got a better idea. Buy a helmet (any brand) and wear it after wearing a bluetooth headset.
cheaper and you can even detach bluetooth from the helmet !

Over the past several months, motorcycle helmet manufacturers have begun introducing Bluetooth equipped helmets, allowing for improved communication while straddling your hog on the open road. Whether you intend to talk on your Bluetooth-equipped phone or just chat with your passenger (or, presumably, other nearby bikers) a Bluetooth mic + speakers in your helmet is bound to make the process a whole lot easier. Bikes in the Fast Lane brings us this roundup of the five helmets announced so far, including the popular Momo Fighter (pictured) with Bluetooth addon. Looks like they're mostly hitting the market in the first quarter of 2005, with price tags up to $1,000 or more.

looks like BMW have updated their helmet... this is from
June 21, 2005 With the forthcoming release of the new cross-country BMW HP2 motorcycle, BMW has put together some fancy new off-road gear, and the pick of the bunch is carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibreglass off-road helmet that’s also aerodynamic and aesthetic enough to be seen anywhere. Indeed, we’re predicting that when the helmet becomes available it will be a best seller, particularly if the company decides to fit its Bluetooth and noise cancellation technologies which will enable it to work with a mobile phone and eventually with other Bluetooth devices such as MP3 players and the like. Now there’s a promising thought – imagine trail riding whilst listening to crystal-clear classical music. The new off-road helmet is reconfigurable, and can be used with or without both the visor or the screen and adds to an impressive BMW helmet line-up which also includes the featherweight SportIntegral carbon fibre helmet that weighs just 999 grams.
