Shoei helmet recommendations?
Hello, I'm in the market for a new helmet and have been looking mostly betweenShoei's rf-1000 and the multitec. I just wanted to know if anyone had experience (good or bad) with either of these models.
Thanks for any info you can provide

I've had the Shoei full face in the past. It is a high end helmet when it comes to quality and comfort.
I presently wear the Shoei 1/2 here in our summers and the Nolan full face the rest of the time.

I just got a multitec for when I take long trips. Handmade in Japan, topnotch fit and finish, and a very user friendly latching system for the flip up face. One bit of advice, make sure you try them on! I have a fairly large melon and I always buy x-large hats, helmets and what have you. With a Shoei, I was able to go with a large.

I have the Shoei X-11 full face and love it. It's light and has very good airflow. I only wear mine though when it gets cold and/or rainy. Excellent quality.

I've had a Shoei RF-1000 and found it to be a top quality helmet.

Shoei makes a great helmet. Just make sure you try it on. I have found my head to be more Arai shaped. I've got a big head...at least that's what my wife keeps saying.

Shoei's are nice although if I am wearing full face I wear an Arai. I find them a bit lighter and more comfortable for my head. You can't go wrong either way.
