it is a great looking helmet Ross. beautiful. naked specific helmets, not sure on that one. ill wait for your reviews. im happy with mine.
This is a good helmet Grog. Quiet, great vents that are easy to work and light. Love it.

Arai Rebel in Frost White.. I have an Arai shaped head so fits like a glove. It's designed for naked bikes so the chin spoiler helps a lot with wind buffeting. Vents are incredibly easy to operate with gloves on and they work well. Not a fan of patterns on helmets or race replicas, rather have plain any day.

Craft RX6 nearing the end of its service life. Bought it purely for nostalgic reasons. My dad had one when I was a kid.
And it looks kinda Darth Vaderish.
The helmet itself fitted well the first four years, now, not so. It's always been noisy at 50kph plus and lifty at 100kph plus.
Going to replace it this year with a Vozz. They're a new design that've done away with chinstraps.
Six seconds, on or off with gloves on. Marvellous.

Just want to share:
Because my Schuberth C4 visor is broken, I had to use may spare (11 year old) Schuberth R1.
What can I say - I'm not happy with C4, but comparing to R1 (which seems superb to me while it was my daily helmet) it's much much better. Ont thing - it's not moving back, while heavy acceleration, like R1 does :grin: and clarity of sun visor is absolutely different league.
But I'm glad I have this experience to compare - shows my C4 is not all bad  :onya:

I wear a Shoei Neotec I
I definitely have a "Shoei Head"

Davida open face for me, I do change sunglasses every year or two when they get scratched though. I can't stand full face lids now I've got used to decent hearing & vision in an open face. I've got a Shoei XR-1000 but not worn for a couple of years because of that.

cant do open face since a bee hit my cheek at 100  :)

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Wouldn't wear an open face helmet. Sorry to say l've seen a few face bars with grind marks on.
I think my next helmet will be a Shoei Neotec. Must have a Shori sorta head, my GT Air fits nice.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I think, my future helmet could be AGV Sportmodular Carbon Helmet. Just ~1300g.
But this is how I think today. By the time I would be ready to upgrade my helmet, there could be other interesting choices on the market  :)

I think I posted earlier In the thread .
I used to always use ARAI helmets but when the chaser v came out the shell sizes changed so they didn't fit anymore I changed to shoei nxr helmets we both have them .
So much lighter than anything I've ever used in the past.
Also have pinlock on the visors a life saver on any helmet if your happen to be out in the rain.

For ages I left the pinlock visor in the helmet box cos I ccouldn't be arsed fitting it..

Then the day came when I could "be arsed" and it was a revelation.
Its literally like double glazing for helmets.
Gone are the days of misting visors.

grog

will take advice on pinlock, my next will have it.

Kiwifruit

So l ruined.mine in no time. Was in thick fog one morning and it fogged between the visor and the pinlock. I finished up ripping it out and sratched it bad. It hadn't sealed well. Later l found out the pins that hold them are like little cams and by twisting them they put more pressure on the seal.  Soon time for a new visor, will replace pinlock at the same time. Expensive exercise though. But worth it.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I solved the problem of misting up - don't go out in the rain !! lol  :)

There is always a chance of a shower up here I find pinlocks  invaluable.
They sometime do need adjusting to seal properly there are guides online on how to fit .
If you buy from a shop they should fit it for free most do.
