Shoei X11 ukawa.

No particular reason for having 2 ukawa x11's, aside from the fact that they're always on sale/being sold cheap vs. the other schemes. X11's are my favorite helmet out there. i refuse to wear anything else.

Light, vents well, not too noisy, and perfect fit for my head. easy shield changing too.

With dark smoked visor

i find it perfect helmet, not to heavy looks cool but isnt colorful.

only complaint i have is it gets kind warm with the peice that goes accross your chin (not the strap but kind like a underpeice to keep you warm. I took mine out and works perfect now. Ill put it back in when fall comes back around.

Shoei RF-1000 voltage. Great helmet. Kinda wish it had slightly better breathing, but this helmet will do anything.

Suomy Spec1r. Had to get the next size up, seemed like it fit fine, but when i take it off it leaves a mark in my forehead and after an hour it starts to hurt. Also, in the rain water drops sneak through the mouth vent. But, very light, otherwise comfortable. Also, noisy, and shield changes are doo doo. My next helmet is either going to be an X-11, or an RX-7, depending on which one looks hotter at the time.

All Silver Scorpion EXO 400, I love the venting on the helmet, I cannot fog it up. Its kind of on t he heavy side (not too bad) and slightly noisy. I wish I could get a suomy, maybe some day.

Arai RX7-RR4 edwards rep. I like it, it's light, and it fits well, vents work very well. I always wear earplugs, so I don't know about the noise.

I can still hear if somebody talks to me, or honks or does anything else. It mainly just cuts out the wind noise inside the helmet. Ever get that high pitched ringing noise in your ears after a ride? Ear plugs prevent that from happening, I think eventually that high pitched ringing can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus.

Arai Corsair

(and just for backlash)


Arai RX7RR4


Shoei XSPii


Shoei XTec, Shoei XSPii, two Shoei VFX-R's (left to right)


I also had two Daijiro X11's, but the curse got them first.

The Arai liners are much more comfortable than the Shoei versions, but the XSPii and X11 vented a lot better than either RX7. Plus, the shield mechanism is much simpler to use on the Shoei. It's not hard on the Arai once you get used to it, but I hate feeling like I'm breaking the shield just to change it. Ear plugs are a definite must with any of these helmets. Tinnitus is no joke.

The X11 also felt lighter than any of the other helmets. The manufacturer says it's because the weight is carried lower on the helmet, which puts less pressure on the top of the head. Whatever they did works.
