Modulars will always be heavier.
Go with a SNELL or ECE approved helmet (they are always DOT by default) and if you want really light, spend big $$ on a carbon fiber helmet.
I like Shoei and others like Arai. Depends on your head shape too. Bell has a custom fitment program as well. Go name brand. Makes a difference in materials used (itches or not), fit, finish, options, venting, aerodynamics, etc.
That white retro helmet without vents would suck.

Actual experience..
I had a Shoei 1100 - I found it very confining. I switched to a modular. I got a Scorpion lightweight for under 275.00. No confining, good ventilation and a huge vision field. I also have a AKG branded HD modular. Also super light weight but the field of vision is not as good as the Scorpion.

I wanted a full-face, but something that looked good on a Harley
I went for the Shark Vancore (sometimes called the Streetfighter)
It's a full-face version of their 'Raw' helmet - it looks cool, is full-face and uses goggles, which in the summer I remove so I can just wear sunglasses. It's very 'airy' and not as claustrophobic as some more traditionally shaped helmets.
I am looking at getting more retro looking full-face. I tried on a Bullet, but it didn't fit my head shape. I'll try the Gringo and also the Bell Moto 3, when its re-released (coming soon apparently)
