I'm looking for a new helmet. I ride my CB1100 without any form of windshield so wind noise and turbulence are pretty big issues.
I'm looking at the Shoei GT Air (with the cool integrated sun shield), and their relatively new X 14.
The X14 has awesome aerodynamics, although it's designed for a bit more forward lean than we get with our bikes. I'm not to worried about his, because it has 4 tilt adjustment points which should make it easily workable. I am a little concerned about noise and ventilation, though.
The GT-Air looks great and has the sun shield, but I'm concerned about noise and turbulence. Ventilation looks good.
So, my questions are: Does anyone own an X 14 or GT- Air and what are their thoughts on noise, aerodynamics and ventilation?
Thanks!
