Thought I'd share this because Barwel's listening to music thread reminded me of it.

I've had two helmets since getting my pointy faired SV and have thought that both were quite noisy. Until that was I got back on my SV recently after riding my naked XT600 all winter, which I bought in December.

When I got back on the SV, I noticed a marked increase in windnoise over what I had become used to on the XT. It's not my helmet at all, it's the shape of the fairing, screen and mirrors on the SV!

EDIT: unless the different angle of the helmet on a sporty clip-ons, versus a sit up and beg of the XT makes the difference?
