I'm guessing you want opinions on looks alone. I'm also assuming you have tried on each and like the fit and function of both.
I'm not a big fan of KBC and it still losses on the looks for my vote goes to the yellow checkered lid.

buy an Arai can not go wrong
Do they make one that is less than $200 bills. I know that KBC is like $159 at the shop here and I still havent figured out what the yellow checkered lid is. So I really don't have an opinion on anything other than looks with it.

Black bikes look cool as do black helmets, but speaking from experience you do not want to wear a black helmet in the summertime. Just think about the old science class about black absorbing heat. Whenever I see someone ride by who isn't wearing a helmet, but has one tied to the rear, it's always a black one.

My vote goes to #1. I hate KBC. I crack used ones at a local bike shop just because the owner asks me if I could. I did.:sorry:

A big +1 on the Scorpion, they are excellent lids.
And +1 on the questionable KBC helments, for the money I think you can do better...:2cents:

Check around, you can find great deals on so called 'high end' helmets that are on clearance too? I picked up at Shoei RF-1000 for under $280.

And of the two on your poll, I don't recognize the brand or model but I like #1

i resently bought a simpson street warrior, it looks bad ass big time and it is one of the most comfortable lids i have worn not that that is helping you at all. so if you are going for looks simpson is where its at, though the military themed one looks good.

Yeah that no-fog feature from scorpion is no joke. i can't get that bitch to fog even when I blow directly on it.
