[sm=icon_rock.gif]the Shoei x-11's and the RF-1000'S you'll like , I've got one of each and I always have a hard time deciden which one to wear

 

I'm riding with a SHARK RSX Intense

http://www.cyclegear.com/lpgm.cfm?L1...=TUC_74-9050_G

It's pretty light and the liner is super comfortable... I've been riding it in the SoCal heat and my head's been pretty dry (compared to my back from my jacket, which is a different story...). I also think that it's rather quiet from what others have said, I haven't ridden with other helmets so I have no real basis for comparison. I do like the fact that it doesn't have a huge spoiler or anything that causes unecessary drag with the vents closed.

I really wish my head fit the Scorpion Exo-700 Scorpion -- That is a sick looking helmet:

In real life, the scorpion is this deep metallic green that changes color depending on angle... it's a great looking helmet, especially for the price.

As far as safety goes, I'm pretty sure that it depends for purpose and a list of several factors that everyone has an opion on. My feeling is that if you have something comfortable on, then you won't be as distracted by the helmet making your chances of falling a whole lot less.

 

I tried on a new shoei RF-1000 at the dealer and freakin' loved it! That helmet fits me so much better than my Icon or Scorpion helmet.

 

I Ride with a shark RSX Fusion its the same helmet above just a solid black. i hade a suomy and it was lighter but less comfortable and was louder. get what fits your head and budget and has the saftey features you are comfy with.

 

Good bang for the buck





My lid that I prefered was the Ti-Tech AGV lid.
