BTW, I have owned/own two Shoei's, one Arai, and a Shark RSR2. This is a nice hat.

The FS-15 carbon is a nice fitting, light lid. I don't know anything about HJC quality the this one seems nice and can be had for $250(MSRP is over $400).

well, a million years later (in "thread" years lol) i got the bell star-for my bday, so for free
first impressions-very nice, the finish is pretty badass from a painters perspective. fit and finish of the parts is very nice, basically everything the reviews said is true-the sizing actually works perfectly for me, and it came with a extra set of firm cheekpads, chin skirt, visor holder that velcros into the best helmet bag ive ever seen included with a helmet. shield change is super simple, and although one review mentioned u could accidently trigger it while riding, i dont see how thats possible without purposely trying to do it. they just came out with a photochromatic shield for the star, so i might check that out. feels light, but i cant attest to long term comfort, havent had a chance to get out and do 200-300 miles straight since i just got it a few days ago. feels good tho. plush only thing im curious about, is it came with a track strip/wicker attachment for stability above 130mph-but i cant find any reviews that say it actually does anything. im pretty happy with it so far, i might even it up and paint one of the bikes to match it

I'd buy that. The very first helmet I bought was an RF1000. It didn't quite fit perfectly but fairly close. The X-11 was down right painful.

How would you rate the Rsr2? I'm thinking of picking one up if I can find a good deal. |
