slick, i have an icon and the damn thing whistles from the wind sometimes :nono: how does the fit, ventilation, and price compare? I haven't done a lot of shopping for helmets since my original purchase, but i've been thinking about an upgrade too

This is #3 on my list of favorite helmets and I am jealous that you have it! But congrats, that thing is gorgeous and yeah I am never going to buy a cheap helmet again either. I used to race with a crappy $100 helmet then I bought an arai and I am never going back to the cheap side. the extra $500 is worth it!!!

There really is no comparison.

I've got an X11 Vermeulen coming from an icon mainframe...

Fit is so much better, it feels like a giant fan in my helmet, and price was about $450 more than the icon.

what he said..

the shoei is a ton lighter, ventilates a hell of alot better, and is alot quieter as well.

there really is no comparison at all.

Very nice! I have a retired Norick in my garage lined up with my other retired Shoeis. Loved them. Still do, but went with an Arai Quantum2 on the last purchase after spending a year under a Scorpion. Spoiled myself with the Arai, but having worn them for years, I think the Shoei is just as good. Congrats on the new lid!
