I recently bought a Shoei RF-1200 and it may be the best helmet I have ever owned. I just sold my ARAI Quantum II which was a great helmet and have owned over 30 different helmets since I started riding many years ago. The Shoei is light, comfortable, with great air flow and visibility. You can't go wrong with a top line helmet like a Shoei or ARAI. I've learned that you usually get what you pay for and your brain bucket has to be worth more than $500. Have seen some serious head injuries in low speed accidents that most likely would have been relatively minor if the rider was wearing a good quality helmet. Any helmet is better than no helmet and I realize money can be a factor at times. Buy the best helmet you can afford. People in cages are freakin crazy nowadays. Ride Safe...
