How long does a motorcycle helmet last?

Depends on the materials used to make the helmet, but typically, you should replace a helmet every there years or so as the UV rays penetrate it and brake it down from the day you take it out of the box. Also, if you drop the helmet, even from knee height, you should replace it even then, as well as after a crash.
