I see now.. I thought it was more like a poll. Here's how it was put to me.. Shoei and Arai are at the top of the list. Some people have an Arai head and some people have a Shoei head. I have a Shoei head. The Shoei X-11 is the coolest, lightest and most comfortable helmet I've ever worn.
I got hosed because I fell in love with the thing the moment I put it on.. not only was I stuck with silver because it was the only one in Large that they had in stock, but I also paid just about $600. I'm not dissappointed though.. I can live with the color and, in all honsetly I would have paid more. Now you can get them for around $400 from
www.helmetharbor.com. If you are going to buy a helmet online I HIGHLY recommend finding a local dealer first to try them on. Definitely ask for help.
