NICE!!! It sound's like he's taking kickbacks for the good review because he give it so much praise but anyone who has a piece of scorpion gear knows it's all true. Love my scorpion gear and that's a price that's hard to beat!

Too bad it's all snowy at SPTG because I'd like to know how it rides.

Only other thing I can think of is the fact the the shield isn't going to interchange with the 400 and 700. Not sure on the thousands though? But who cares with a rice tag and features like that?!

Scorpion FTW!

I really like STG's video reviews.

Ok- so I'm sitting here @ work, looking at this new 500, and reached over and picked up the exo-1000 that I got to ride in for the first time since I bought it today.

From what I can tell, the 500 has all the 1000's features, at a lower pricepoint? The vents are slightly different. I guess I'm a little confused what the 1000 now offers over this 500 at the same pricepoint.

Liking the Eternity jacket - I've got a Hat Trick from Scorpion as my normal riding gear, but have been looking for a nice leather jacket too.

lower price point (the 500 is lighter too) yes but they never covered build materials...

i beleive their outer shell is a different composite

the 1000 would be like lexus, more luxerious, extra weight, so on so forth

where your 500 would be a everyday toyota lighter, cheaper so on

lol im 21, with a wife, a kid, and i live in possibly the most expensive city around my local area trust me if anyone knows broke I do. lol 200 is hardly a price to pay for something you can guarantee to save your life...

and i never pay full price on helmets
