Actually, I believe I'm going to order up a Shoei RF-1000 (Anthracite, below) because it fits my melon quite nicely and they seem to be pretty :thumbup: in terms of comfort, weight, reliability and best of all, protection.



So, anybody have this lid and what do you think? Any nay-sayers? Let's hear it. Opinions, opinions, please!

Duh, my bad ... right after I post this poll, I see there's one similar already started in Off Topic. whups AND I left out a couple big names (AGV ... ) Well, post up anyways ...

I haven't noticed the other poll, faster. I'll take a look for it.

You must try a Nolan flip-up and see what you think. I am extremely happy with mine. I use the flip-up function all the time. Have you ever had a flip-up helmet? It's a whole new world! A wonderful one!
I haven't tried a BMW flip-up, but from how they look, I'd say the Nolan mechanism is clearly superior.

Im using a flip-up from http://www.lazerhelmets.com

I chose a flip-up because im wearing glasses, now i can put on my helmet without first taking off my glasses, laying them on the seat with the change of falling on the ground. I also dont have to take my helmet of while paying for fuel at the gas-station..

I have been wearing an RF1000 for over a year now and I love it. It is comfortable, shield changes are a snap and the thing vents very effectively. It is light and quiet and is not too high priced. :thumbup: I have a bunch of helmets, including an Arai Quantum e, and I really prefer the RF1000.
