What do you think? http://www.cyclenews.com/showcase/view/shoei-sport-touring-rf-1100-helmet http://www.shoei-helmets.com/Helmet.aspx?RF-1100&h=18&t=1 I just sprung for another RF-1000 since everyone is clearing them out at great prices.
I've been extremely happy with my RF-1000 and considering another one. I may have to pull the trigger now, thanks for the heads-up!
I love my RF1000's but holy hell, why does Shoei have the worst helmet graphics on the market?! Do we really need that many swoopy tribal designs? Blech.
+1 I sold my RF-1000 to purchase a Shark RSR2 and while the Shoei was nice, the Shark helmet owns. Shoei needs to hire a new graphic artist for their helmets... ugh.
If they're that good I will have to try a shark on then. The RF1000 fits me so well it would be hard to imagine something even better.
I have an egg shaped head and the RF1000 fits me like a glove. Love the helmet. My current one is a solid color and I could care less about grahics and designs. The RF1200 is on my list for sure. In a solid color BTW!!!
I love the RF-1000, but this is the only graphics choice I like.... I would only buy a good helmet, if I liked the looks of it as well. That's why I want to buy this:
I agree, same with the X11. I tell ya, it's enough to make a guy switch to Arai. But maybe there's hope.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4O0tSuKWdc&feature=player_embedded
That thing is tits!! A bit loud for me for street riding, but I'd totally rock that on the track! Prob is Arai's don't fit like Shoei's. :sad: Try Suomy, Jay. The Vandal model line fits almost exactly like an RF1000 for me, they have similar build quality and come with antifog screen. I would say the Vandal is pretty much on par with the RF1000 all around but is a bit cheaper, and lighter. I crashed in this helmet, and would have repurchased it if they didnt discontinue it: So then I got this to replace it as my track helmet: /oops, sorry for the thread jack, op. :mrgreen:
PS, why spend millions developing a BRAND NEW BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP product and then slap on all your old lame-ass graphics?!?!?! Kinda kills the "all new!!!" effect. :roll:
Why does almost EVERY Shoei helmet have to have those stupid pointy, bottle opener hooks on them?!?! And wtf, glinty starbursts?! Really?! Ugh. (sorry, not meaning to rain on your parade, Jay!) :mrgreen:
I wish there was some sort of fitting machine you could stick your head into, and it would tell you which helmet would fit your shape best. I've tried on so many helmets... Most of them I can't get off my noggin fast enough. The only one that comes close is the Arai Profile, and that one, while it fits the top of my head, still crushes my nose...
I have 2 RF-1000 love them both.one red busa theme. one blue gsxr theme. just bought the joe rocket copper carbon fiber just for the color and I like that one to.
