I have a Shoei XR1000 with a dark smoke vizor, almost never ride at night and even then for in town speeds (up to 40mph)its good enough. It also has the pinlock (anti fog) system.
Great helmet and perfect fit for me, but thats different for everybody.

Over the years I have tried a lot of helmets, cheap ones and expensive ones. I can't stand a full face, so I wear a three-quarter.

Best I've had to date, usually a bit cleaner than this though.

Arai Rx7 corsair Nicky Hayden . Had a HJC which is a good helmet but after I tried the Arai there was no going back!

stunva- youre my new competition with the dirtiest helmet award lol
insanegoldfish- dude i want that helmet, i saw it a while back for like 300 but recently i saw a new helmet made by a company called "akuma" and its a carbon fiber helmet with a transition visor (the visor automatically tints itself when UV lights hit it)

edit: HJC cyclone that i painted. and got jason brittons signature on!!!!!!

I wear a full face GMax GM68s, red/sliver/black, all the time, every time.

Flows A BUNCH of air, slightly noisy due to all the airflow. Ear plugs fix that problem.

Pull-down dark 3/4 shield over the clear shield for sunny days, very handy.

Web Bike World dot com helmet o' the year in '07 or '08.

Bought myself the new Shark S900 Glow lid. Very nice lid for the price!

Shoei Raid as main lid (it hit the deck in my crash last weekend and is now written off due to minor impact damage) - will get a Raid 2 on the insurance

Nitro full face flip sometimes

Open face is for when out on small bikes - CB50j or similiar


I wont wear open face on larger bikes - not safe enough ...

Here is that Akuma review

Just bought this scorpion Apollo EXO-1000 helmet.



Just waiting for delivery

I use to do the same way... screen exchange is really boring when you need to carry them both.

I use one of these, it changes colour when in full sun and stops the visor fogging up every time. simply awesome and well priced

I just bought a Shoei RF-1000 for my very first helmet. I am a new rider and just got my bike last Saturday. The helmet is GREAT and very comfortable.
It is a full face of course but circulates air very well too.



Ooooh, nice one! Thanks for that info, I will have to check it out

Full ......... always.

Seems full-face is the winner, by landslide!!!!

I now ride with a matte black Shoei RF-1000 I bicked up from Cycle Gear a couple of years ago for 299. When I had my V-Rod I wore a 3/4 for the 1st year or so. That was until I was riding with someone who took a bit of debris to the face on the freeway. A little piece of plastic on a car can do some damage when it comes at you at 65+ mph. After that I started wearing the full face at all times. The helmet is a little noisy and fogs up easy at times but I would still buy the helmet again if necessary.
