Hehe. Yes, I have one. It's so pretty, but SO F**KING LOUD. Other than that though, I don't have an issue with it. It's great round town, as it refuses to fog, and the dark visor is a brilliant idea. If they made it more flush, without the vents, then it would be quieter, but it wouldn't look nearly so good.

How many miles you got on it? By the time mine had done 4,000 miles, it was loose, and it had been tight to start with. Same with my mate's, which was just as bad.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Tried a Caberg a while ago, I think I've got the wrong sized head for them as it just wasn't comfortable.

Had considered a Multitec, but I want a full face/non-flip one this time, with my Syncrotec to use as a spare if I want a flip (it's only 4 yrs old and not in too bad nick).

Can't get on with contact lenses, can't stand anything poking in me eye...

Off to try some on tomorrow.
Cheers
Greg

It looks great with real polished metal trim, and all the flip-mechanism is concealed by two flush panels. It was £150, and I think it looked best in matt black.

If you're not a brand-queen I would definately look at this.
Haven't there been some serious questions over the effectiveness of Cabergs

My personal opinion is go for the Arai's, Shoei's etc - not for the brand name, but for the fact they are proven safe helmets.

Cost is not an issue in my world - how much do you really value your bonce.

I have an Astro R and an "SV", both Arai's and when I want to, I can wear my glasses, or even sun glasses quite easily.

It's a case of trying them and seeing how comfy you are. Helmets are a personal thing

Been out shopping today and bought one of these (Shoei Raid 2, which I'd already had my eye on)



Tried on quite a few and this one was the best fit for me and the glasses fit fine. Well pleased with the graphics too, makes a change from my plain sliver Syncotec.

Thanks for all the advice
Greg
