speedytriple Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) So I got my new helmet in the mail today. I ordered a scorpion exo 1000 in the rpm graphic, with the flat black gold color. Got it from http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/closeouts/helmets/scorpion/exo_1000_rpm_motorcycle_helmet.html for $159.00 shipped. First ride with it was today back and forth to work so about 60 miles. Like the way it fits, not as heavy as all the reviews I read. The flip down sun visor could be a little darker(they make a dark smoke) But worked nice. Reasonably quiet, for the price range it's in. Must vent well, cause I had to shut most of them to stop the cold wind. Will give a review after i get a good day ride in, but so far happy with it.

wicked94s10 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I just laid down 2750 miles in seven days with my exo 1000. I love the helmet can't beat it for that price. Thats the fifth long trip (1500 + miles each) in the last year since I got it, no complaints yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I ordered an exo-900 earlier this week and it's supposed to show up today Hope it turns out as good for me as yours did for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Better than the 400? The 700? Quieter? Better ventilation?I have both a 400 and 700, but haven't had a chance to try a 1000Doorfront Parking like a BOSSNoBama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habi Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 These are on clearance at SBTG right now for $125. Not as good as the $99 a couple years ago but not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited choice of the graphics, but $75!my first Scorpion, but very pleased. nice inner pads and I am very impressed. very little use on this and no long ride yet, but it feels as good as Arai and better than HJC AC-12 (sorry little old comparison) http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=13093 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Just for all your guys, I've crashed in 2 Scorpians now, and only the last time did my dome hurt the Monday following the Sat. wreck. I still ran that PM, and the whole next day, and had a little headache Monday, but I think that was exhauston.I love my 700's, I wrecked in a 700 and a 1100, the 1100 was amazing, only wore it twice before wrecking so that sucked. I just picked up another 700 from STG and plan on ordering an 1100 here in a day or 2 since they just marked them back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
