grumpi knoxville,  TN great Nice helmet. I got the metallic black x-11 helmet too. Recommend the X-11 if you can afford it. RF-1000 fantastic second choice. I like them both very much.

Aaron Williams Bonney Lake,  WA Shoei Caster Helmet reivew Finally decided to drop the cash down and get a high quality helmet to replace my KBC, and couldn't be happier. The fit is way better, more comfort and just feels like a much sturdier helmet. The graphics also have a metal flake to them which looks awesome when in the light (can't be seen in display picture). The only downfall I've found is the annoying whistle that occurs at any speed above 10mph with the face shield up. When it’s down the seal is great and I feel as if I'm an astronaut ready to blast off. This helmet has increased my star power by 14 fold and has allowed me to ride faster and farther than ever before. Thank you MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE for making it all possible.

Brandon Angleton,  TX Amazing helmet, strongly recommend! This helmet fit great right out of the box and got even better after about a week of riding, very well vented compared to the HJC I was using before. The cost is a little high, but I'd still buy it again. I strongly recommend this helmet to anyone, it was a great buy!

BoyGoBig Monterey,  CA RF1000 vs. RF800 I just upgraded from a Shoei RF800 to the RF1000. I wish I would have spent the money a long time ago and made the switch. The helmet takes a CX-V1 lens/shield and not the older CX-V that went on the RF800. This helmet is far superior in every category. The fit is great and the helmet is streamlined and it’s amazing how aerodynamic and light weight it is. They do not mention that the inner star on the helmet has very light glitter in it which is not noticeable in the pictures but looks great. The helmet also comes with unmentioned accessories (breath guard, bottom chin air block). Motorcycle-Superstore had the best price by far over ever major website I checked out and the free shipping got the helmet to me in 3 days.
