Help me pick a new helmet...

[kwm works]

I still have a Shoei X8 ! If the X11 is as good I will be buying one.

I have 3 Arai's. Awesome helmets the only problem is the side visor plates they develop cracks around 4 years. I would go with the x11s because of the weight and ventilation.

i agree on the gmax helmets. they vent very very well and they also have a removable liner. i often ride at speed and they are very stable. by the way if you have the orange and black they have one that matches perfectly. good luck on your quest.

I have just bought a Shoei XR-1000 Rogue and i am loving it. I was not used to having vents before and i was wondering how my head was cold until my wife who was on the bike with me told me i had a vent on the back. She closed it and I felt warm again

So i am not experienced with Lids but i like this one.

Hi

Ok, here is the deal...
Currently ride in a Shoei RF-1000, love the design, but doesn't flow air at all. I sweat like crazy unless it's like 50 degrees outside. I hate it for that reason...

I am looking at two helmets, Shoei X-11, and the Arai RX-7 Corsair...

I am 6'4" tall, am getting Tobin seats done this week and have a Puig double bubble screen on my Busa...

What do you guys ride in that flows a lot of air and doesn't wobble your head around when at speed...

Thanks in advance...

Go for the Shoei X-11.
In europe it's called X-Spirit.

I'm going for my second Shoei X-11 (just trashed my last one on a fall).
Much more quiet than the RX-7 Corsair.

The Arai for me is just superior if you are choosing a replica, much better design's.

Regarding the wobble of the head, I use the X-11 and a leather jacket (Alpinestars RC-1) with a hump on the back, so when you going fast you can put the helmet against the hump and no wobble even at speeds of + 290 Km/h

Love my Arai RX-7 but after reading a bunch of reviews of the OGK, it will be my next helmet.

So where to get one...This site says they ship worldwide for no extra charge, but can a sponsor get them.

THE GMAX will make your ears bleed (unless you wear earplugs) and your head bob around at 40 miles an hour unless your fully tucked in.

I recommend the Shark RSR2. I'm wearing one now and love it.

I still like the RF1000. Have 3 of them and the fit and feel is great for me. Been tempted on the GMax, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

i just took the first ride with my new icon airframe, very light, very quiet, and good airflow. i also like the way it fits my head. i also like the suzuki blue color with the suzuki logos. i am very satisfied with it for the price of $245.00.
