Don't know for sure but: Both are Snell aproved; Car are fire proof, not sure about motorcycle; car usually has smaller visor slit; not sure what else. I don't know if they care if you use motorcycle helmet or not. I actually just bought one yesterday. Went to a bike shop first, and they said there was a difference and that I should get car helmet. Unded up buying one up at Wine Country Motorsports (Searspoint). Not cheap though- $325. You could get open face for cheaper, but I figure, if I'm going to invest that much, I might as well get full protection. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Roush #92</b> <br /><small>Member # 1241</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,8,17,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> There are different Snell certifications for car and motorcycles.<br /><br />SA (special application) Standard was designed for auto racing while M Standard was for motorcycling and other motorsports.

SA standard allows narrower visual field than M standard (Some SA helmets may not be street legal);<br />3.
