I like the Shoei full face. Bought mine and the wife's there. Decent prices and no problems. If you go with a full face or 3/4 with a shield and you are thinking of changing it, buy it all at the same time and save shipping. I opted for the smoked shield when I got mine, later the wife liked it and I bought her just the shield. You wind up paying $10-12 shipping just for a $40 part. If you buy a helmet it's free shipping.

The Helmet Shop in Daytona Beach. Carry several brands, but we prefer Arai. Great prices. They do have a web site.

Esram,
Checkout Helmet Harbor.
http://www.helmetharbor.com/
Not an endorsement of them but they have a number of video reviews that you can check out.
A lot of opinions abound, you'll get them.
Get to know the styles and features.
If you shop via internet know the return-exchange policy before ordering.
Good luck

William

+1 on helmet city and ordering the smoke shield along with the helmet. I wear a Shoei RF1000 full face as well. Nice Company to deal with. When I bought mine, they had the best price I could find online. HTH

I think you first have to decide what you want and they sh0p for the best deal.

I prefer Shoei and Arai. For my 3/4 helmet Arai is my first choice.

Arai.......I've been buying Arai helmets for over 24 yrs I think they are the very best you can get. I've had both MotoX and Street helmets from them and have loved every one.
