    Shoei RF1000 in RED. I like other helmets, but I have a Shoei shaped head...

    Shoei RF-1000 in black. Should have bought an X-Eleven in the first place but now I have an excuse to buy another.

    QUOTE: "Hey Nungboy,
    I certainly wasn't trying to call you out and I wasn't referring specifically to your Icon. I'm just a more subdued kind of a guy and want a more subdued looking helmet. You're right, there are a lot of choices out there and it's nice that we can all find something that first of all, fits our head and secondly fits our personality."

    Thanks ILVFR75. I sensed you didn't even have a mental picture of my Domain but were just generically mentioning the various spoilers and geegaws that some helmets have. I like being goofy here in the Forum (and on the bike too I guess!) so had to jump in and be silly. Thanks for letting me have some fun!
    GOOD KARMA!

    HJC CL-14 in basic black... with black visor.

    Have had this for a few years now, so I'm looking at getting a Shoei Raid2. These have a good reputation from other riders and are quite reasonably priced.

    Shoei RF-1000 in Anthracite. Previous helmet was the RF-900, which did its job well in a high side...

    I have a "Shoei" shaped head. :smile:

    Shoe RF1000 -- love it. Although I may have went Scorpion 1000, but they weren't out yet.

    I love some of these helmets guys. Where do you buy them? Online?

    I've been looking for an Arai or Shoei. Anyplace with descent prices?

    AGV TiTech here.
    BSI certified instead of the usual snell, very light weight and great venting helmet.

    both my Shoei's came from Ridegear.com. Went to a local Bike shop to try it on, originally
    Got a real good price for the X-11's. "if you have a ten dollar head then buy a ten dollar helmet." It was an old honda ad slogan. this helmet is very light and super quiet. I don't even notice and wind effects(buffeting) at any speed.
    Helmet MSRP $692.00
    Bikeshop $770.00 plus Tax
    Ride Gear
    White- $504 free shipping
    Red Kagayama $534 free shipping

    I purchased an Arai Vector (new model for '08) right before my 3 day 800 mile trip. I absolutely loved it!! I bought a lot of new gear for the trip and this was definitely the best purchase.

    The only drawback is the whole liner is not removable for washing, just the cheekpads. In retrospect I would have bought the Corsaur Rx-7 for the removable pads. I still love the helmet though and I will only buy Arai for now on.
