Why focus on the size of the bike's engine? Kids on bicycles are killed or seriously hurt due to head injury every day. It doesn't take much speed to develop the forces required to bust your head wide open.
I mean, why wear a helmet at all? If it's just because it's the rules or something, then go ahead and put on any old thing you can find.
But if you want us to support that kind of rationalization, forget it ... the only advice you will likely get here is to be smart about it and get the best protection possible.
No offense to anyone ... but if you truly think Nik should go cheap on head protection I'd think twice about actually putting it in writing.
