RE: Classic fullface helmet - Roper_imp - 04-15-2018

I love my Shoei rf-1200. All the modern full-face goodness and venting in a shape design that's a little more conservative. You can get graphics in a dizzying array of choices, including solids. I found mine for less than $400 new when they discontinued the graphics a couple of years ago. I've ridden in all sorts of weather and been really satisfied. The chin curtain really helps when it's c-c-c-cold outside. I have the "Cruise TC-5". I think it looks awesome with my Black '14.

Cool helmets! I think I would miss the vents in warm weather. Then again, my jacket isn't vented, and I seem to do okay in warm weather. At any rate, the white color may help keep things a little cooler. Happy riding!

Gosh dangit people! Quit spending my $!!!!!

The Billy B in black/white or the Motordrome in green/black would look great on my Triumph.

I didn't see any safety ratings (dot/snell). Anybody find out how these stack up?

RE: Classic fullface helmet - baxtercat_imp - 04-21-2018

the ones on Revzilla are ECE 22-05 and DOT rated.

The Biltwell is DOT approved and the NEXX is ECE approved. Wink

Great looking helmet, but how is this ventilated?

RE: Classic fullface helmet - KiowaEagle_imp - 05-11-2018

I'm with Roper. I love the Shoei RF1200 too. Super comfortable, light and easy too wear my glasses. Quiet too, I'm always surprised how noisy it gets when I crack the visor open. Most important, Snell rated. DOT don't cut it.

RE: Classic fullface helmet - LikeAfox_imp - 05-20-2018

I have an LS2 3/4 helmet and it actually has vents on top, although the're not pushing much air. Found it on clearance for $99, worth every penny.

NEXX XG100R looks rad as he**, the graphic options are amazing.

But I will never again buy a helmet online without trying it on first. Bought me a gorgeous and expensive Nolan few years back and just couldn't wear it. Something about the head shape, not just size. My oval-headed friend is rocking that helmet right now and it fits him like a glove. Poorly fitted helmet will cause you to fatigue much faster on long rides, get yours fitted properly.
