Very nice Jess, colours will go great with the new bike!:thumbup:

That's the perfect helmet for the pink/white FZ6R and at that price, good lord, it's like it's fate! Actually, I like the design better in your pictures than I do in the stock photo...it's got a lot more to the graphics than you can tell in the stock shot. :thumbup:

+1 on Scorpions. I got the matte black Exo-700 after my old helmet (an HJC) started to feel loose after I got a haircut. Going from very long and thick hair to almost bald made a huge difference in fit.

My only gripe is that my forehead starts to hurt just above my eyebrows after I have it on for a long time (>2 hours)...this is probably due to my odd-shaped forehead.

I have an Arai RX7, and I'm very happy with it! After I wore it in it fits perfectly. (Pic in avatar)

Jess, I just noticed that you seem to pull your helmet a little too far down in front.. Might just have been that you wanted to smile at the camera?? I've learned that the bottom of your nose should line up with the top of the chin guard for a correct fit. Just thought I'd mention it.

Yeah and I was looking down toward the camera, if I'd had you there to take the pic I wouldn't have had to worry now would I?

I know where plant city is. It's only about an hour from me. Are you in Florida now? I just picked up another helmet today and added the pic to my old post. Check out my gear thread I just posted also.

Loved it, had to have it.

I have a shoei rf-1000 and am very happy with it. I liked the features of other brands but they didnt fit me right. IMO its more important to have a helmet that fits correctly than one that looks cool but doesnt fit right.

I have two my newest is a Scorpion EXO-400. No complaints with the Scorp fits great and fairly quiet.

I also have a SHOEI RF-800 Picotte Replica.

Just to stir up the mix a bit more. Have Scorpion EXO700.
In the store all helmets look great and it is really hard to select proper one. I had to buy new cheek pads because original ones were too tight. i didn't find out that in the store but after first or second ride.
Now I am after quietest helmet I can find. Scorpion is way too noisy. At speeds of 70-80 km/h (50 miles/hour) wind noise turbulence is just annoying. i honestly think that other (regular) helmets aren't much better in that department either.
According to the tests Schubert helmets are the quietest. Have to find one somewhere.
By the way I don't believe in helmet mail ordering. I know you can save the money by finding a deals but after in-store experience where one helmet was X and other one X as well (different brands) and sizes were completely different I abandoned that idea.

Current one is a Scorpion EXO-700 in blue. Also have an HJC Sy-Max II, but that one is nowhere near as comfy as my Scorp, so I rarely wear it. Wife has a Shoei RF-1000.

 

[FZ6biker]

I have an Icon Alliance SSR Americana and a HJC session as a back up.

I am looking to buy a Shoei RF1000 or the Xeleven. Any thoughts on which one is a better helmet? I am torn between both and can't seem to make up my mind.
