I mean there is no point in having a 5* safety rating if its going to cause you to miss something in your blind spot and cause a crash!!!
My Caberg Justissimo GT looks alot bigger than this Duke and as I said before it does make lifesaver more difficult but I've been using it for years with no ill effect and it has not made me sloppy on lifesavers, it's just the trade off you make but if it helps I am definitely considering this Duke helmet myself and looking to find a local shop with stock so I can try it.
