No graphics = not interested...I would like to see which graphics option they will offer. Most of my gear is pretty bland (grey/black), but I love to have an outrageous lid.

Even though, they are still too rich for my blood...maybe when I live in the 1st world or leave this deadbeat country and finally graduate college and start earning a true engineer's wage.

Finally the RF series will have fog free lens...that was what sold me on the Shark RSI over the RF1000 (Besides the RSI had a graphic I REALLY wanted).

lol is there a feature print-out or something? a crush/crumple zone tailored to the human skull or something? i'd like to see what safety features were incorporated in the new design before dropping money on the biggest/baddest

i don't really know if this applies directly to the thread, but i found this to be an interesting read given the politics that have surrounded the debate over whether the snell rating was better or worse than the ece22-05 ratings.
