Edward Toronto,  ON RF-1000 Caster Design The helmet is very comfortable and lightweight. While it has venting, air flow could be improved. The finish is excellent and the design of the Caster is classy and sophisticated, but still cool.

Josh S Medford,  OR Great Helmet This helmet was a great buy. The fit is pretty much perfect, I usually vary with a L and XL, went with the L and I could not be happier. The helmet also feels great at high speeds, it is very aerodynamic. There is a bit of a whistling noise when the face shield is cracked open, especially when you are doing a head check. Changing and cleaning the face shield is a breeze to do, and it really does only take seconds to remove from helmet. I was very pleased with this buy.

Shane Salt Lake City,  UT Shoei - RF-1000 Caster Helmet It's the most comfortable helmet that I've owned. The ventilation and lining are well designed and provide constant airflow around my head. The vent closures are easy to open and close even while riding. The shield can be popped off in a matter of seconds so that I can switch between tinted and clear. The finish and quality are very good. This helmet was a really great value for the money.

marc tramonte sammamish,  WA RF-1000 Great Helmet Well finished. Quiet. Only complaint isn't really one -- the cheek pads are too tight and the forehead foam bites my forehead.

Chris La Center,  WA You can't put a price on your head, or quality. Amazing fit, snug yet comfortable. Very light compared to other helmets. Good venting, minimal fogging (I haven't installed the fog guard yet) Face Shield is SUPER EASY to change. Takes seconds to switch between tinted shields and clear shields. Graphics are spectacular, and what you don't see in the pictures is a Metallic Flake paint that is in the star graphic. I would buy it again, without hesitation.

Poloasis Bear,  DE The RF 1000 Well this helmet is as good as it gets. No fogging on colder days if you use the nose air channel, very clear face shield and durable. Fits like a glove if you get the right size.

Deanna Machesney Park,  IL Shoei-RF-1000 Now I love wearing a helmet! The Shoei RF1000 is so light and with all the vents I am cool even in 85 degrees! I never wore a helmet before but now I never go without it. I am going to get a tinted shield, I don’t like wearing sunglasses. Sizing was right on.

CL LA,  CA LOVE IT I just upgraded from an HJC CL-15 and I have just been blown away from this helmet. It is all around a much better helmet. The visibility, wind noise, weight, vents, and overall look are so much better than my old HJC. To be honest, it is a bit expensive but why waste your money on cheaper helmets when you can have 1 good helmet that has all the features. The helmet seems to fit pretty snug on my head, but after a short break-in period it feels comfortable. My HJC helmet was a small, but I had to buy a medium with the Shoei helmet. If you buy this helmet, you should seriously consider buying the dark smoke visor. It looks amazing with it.

Alan St. Louis,  MO Excellent Helmet I have both the X-11 and the RF-1000. I'm very pleased with both purchases. The black and white Caster looks beautiful and matches almost every bike and jacket. I think the RF-1000 is a little lighter and quieter. Especially on a touring or sport-touring bike, the RF-1000 sounds quieter. On a sport bike, both are equally quiet. Great service and selection at Motorcycle Superstore.

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.
