Full or Open Face Helmet?

[HikerToo_imp]

I have wrecked before and its not fun! I was wearing a full face then and I will always wear one. I have the Shoei RF1000 which is 5yrs old so it was time to replace it.....with the Shoei RF1100. Safety gear is not the place to save money!!!!!!! Remember, when you are going down the last thought that will never go through you head is "man I am really wearing too much gear"

And if you do wana wear less gear I hear the Harley guys/life style may be more to your liking.

A closing thought....for those of us who have been riding for any length of time we have all lost someone who we rode with. But hey these are just opinions on the matter.

I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse with my Shoei NeoTec.


I always used a full-face helmet with my favorite being my RF1000. I thought about getting the RF1100 when I purchased the CB, but the appeal and convenience of being able to flip up the front, plus all the press/hype of how the NeoTec is the best modular ever made, led to ordering one.


I used to ride with foam earplugs when I had my HJC. After replacing it the the RF1000, it was much quieter, but I'd still wear earplugs for long rides out west of San Antonio on the ol' 919.


The buffeting within the top ports are quite distracting on the NeoTec and the chin vent seems to nearly double the noise when open. Maybe I need to go back to riding with earplugs again... or buy a Goldwing. Hmmm... wonder which option the wife will approve?

That's supposed to be one of their best modular, I was even thinking about getting the MulitTec...that would probably be even louder. Do you have a fairing on your CB1100?

I currently have a Shoei Multi-tec but I would be tempted to wear a 3/4 helmet for around town use.

Do you like the MultiTec? I was thinking about getting the Pearl Gray along with the RJ open face.
