have to disagree about the RF 800, was an awesome helmet in the day, probably one of the best, quiet, comfortable, well made, etc, i still wear mine occasionaly and it feels better than all of my other 10 helmets, maybe except for the Shoei x-11 but i've got a "shoei" shaped head, never really worn much other than Shoei or Arai, they're time tested and proving, so i'll probably stick with those, almost 20 years of riding and i've bounced a few down the pavement with my head in them, so .....

Hmmm... I can respect that,I've owned 3 Shoei helmets and I didn't like them much-wrong head shape,I guess- I then went to Arai for a decade or so,played with middle ground helmets for a while and now I'm into Shark. I'm willing to bet you have not ridden any distance in a RSR2 yet have you? Come down here and I'll let you try one of mine...it's a life changing experience! |

hey Tigg... is that top vent a pain for you to close in gloves... when I tried it in the store I could open it fine (spring loaded obviously) but closing it I had to take the helmet off and even then it was insanely hard to close. but it was the only RSR2 they had so couldn't tell if was just that helmet or not.

No not really...it's not the easiest vent to use but like you said opening it is super easy.

it was the gloss version.. but I did laugh in his face... REALLY loud when he told me the price... and commented that Motorcycle-Superstore.com has it for less than $600... he started to say shipping and I said yes... shipping of one of the lightest helmets on the market is $100+
that's one thing I will NOT miss about ak... ok... one of the MANY things... but they always have prices 20%-60% higher and claim it's shipping... what ever... |

Just went and tried another.. they had a medium RSR2 in the back... fuck I love the fit of the Sharks... and the vent wasnt nearly as hard to work on that one... think the first may just need some graphite powder or oil.
I really liked the RSI though... think that may be the ticket. wasn't that $250 a single large helmet? |
