For those that **** talk flip up helmets, come ride in the desert SW when it's 100+ degrees outside and you'll soon change your mind. Having access to water while rolling down the highway is crucial.
Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.

When I ride, I ride and don't dick around doing anything else.

I wear an RF1200. I tried-on a Neotec at my local dealer but for me, it was too massive. I like the RF helmets because they are lightweight and do well in the open wind, with no windshield, which is why sportbike riders like them. Some of the people I ride with wear modulars.

I have a 1200 as well. Do you get any airflow inside the helmet? Even with all vents open, I feel no circulation.

The venting systems on quality helmets are designed for a certain riding position; with the RF-1200 being more of a sportbike helmet model the vents won't work as well for a more upright touring bike riding position.
