I gotta say AKEN's Suomy is a sweet lookin' lid.

I have a Scorpion EXO-400 Warhawk in black, blue and silver, and a very nice HJC for motocross.

DEFINITELY looking forward to getting the Scorpion EXO-1000 Apollo dark gray by end of summer. Flip-down sun visor, pretty lightweight, and if it has as good venting as the 400 I'll be very happy.

Given an unlimited budget I'd love to have a Shoei X-11 or a nice Arai. Oh well, gotta get $2000 dental surgery in a couple weeks. Insurance does not cover that procedure. Should be fun chewing on one side fora month and I'm sure the helmet will be extra comfortable pushing on my face.

personally i dont think the 1000 is worth the cash between the 700. Its extra weight as well but who knows i tried it on and did feel on the heavy side.

i heard that the exo1000 is a heavy f-er compared to the 400 and 700.

'06 Shoei RF-1000 Voltage.... absolutely LOVE it!! It's been my favorite lid to date.... soooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable, I can wear it all day long and not even know it's there. I bought it late in 2005 after retiring my HJC AC-11 after crashing on the highway in Aug '05. Been wearing it daily since and still love it... it needs a bath though... BAD! I think I have bugs stuck in the vents, lol. Retail at the time was I think $468 or something like that, I paid $350 new from ebay. They're about $450 retail now

I'd rather have an old Arai, than a new anything else.....

Plus plus plussity plus one. I am thoroughly pleased with the X-11, but it is, astonishingly, noticeably heavier than my twelve-year old RX-7RR3.

Arai FTW!

I have a Scorpion. I like the material on the inside. I've worn an Arai before, and they're nice too.

AGV is underrated. They are awesome. The XR2 is the best helmet I've ever worn. Definitely comparable to the X-11.
+1!!

When I bought my Suomy Spec 1R, I was considering the AGV Ti-Tech along with it. A couple friends of mine have the AGV Stealth and those are really nice and comfy. From trying on MANY different brands of helmets, Suomy and AGV are my top choices in terms of their comfort and snugness, and both are BSI certified too
