Wow ..chit....just saw IDO's Shark RSX Hook in Red/White...........****en hot lid !

 

True. And a lot of places have them. Have you ever seen a fog-free shield for these? Or know of any that fit? I'd like to get one....

 

Get them from your local HJC stockist

Thanks for the tip, Dean0!

 

I've been a Scorpion man ever since they came out. From 1985 (when I started riding) until 4 years ago, I wore only Shoei RF series helmets, because they fit me the best. When the RF1000 came out, they had changed it, and it didn't fit any more. So, I went searching. I tried a few, and when Scorpion came out, the moment I tried one on I was stunned at the comfort. I was ready to buy right away, assuming that the high level of fit and finish meant that this was a premium priced hat. Au contraire, mon frere! They're excellent quality, great paint, permanent no-fog shield (and it really works), and its $200???

SOLD!

Been wearing them ever since (even pursued and got road racing sponsorship from them). There's now officially no reason to spend $$$$ on a helmet, unless you're doing it for the paint job, or the rare case that only the high dollar one fits you. Check 'em out!

 

KBC, VR1 euro. Four years old, never dropped. Very comfy, good venting, maybe a bit noisy though. Visor will stay open one click up to 180kph, then shuts..can't blame it really .

 

I keep coming back to these helmets while I'm looking around. They have a lot of good features, they look good, and they're priced right. I may end up with one to replace my HJC.

 

Didn't read the whole thread, but I'm using one that let's the entire face pull up (of course the visor comes up independently also). Very convenient for accessing and putting on sun glasses, though you look like a complete dip when it's up.

Ok, now I read it. That Zox Genesis SVS is what I was looking for when I found my HJC version.

 

You don't want to fall with one of those helmets Joe, the mechanism isn't strong and is inclined to break on impact - my son worked for a motorcycle dealer, and they did a test, slapping the helmet on both sides, and the whole faceshield FELL OFF. The dealer immediately returned all of them.
They are also heavier than a conventional full-face (I had a Shoei)
and a lot noisier. I did about 12 miles in the thing and sold it immediately.

Replacing your chin in a fall isn't a good thing, I'm told..................

I'd get rid of it if I were you................seriously !

 

Damn. NOW you tell me.
