The last one- the Camino is probably my favorite, but the Crest is sick. I'm definitely getting a new helmet next season- just have to decide which one! :drool:

Agreed. Proly gonna be my next helmet in a year or two. Those pics don't doit any justice either. I bet there's plenty of flake in there that'll make it pop.

:lol: yeah, they don't look like a blind person painted them like the suomys do. shoeis are understated elegance.

I know this statement must be a joke. Either that or clearly you've never even seen a Suomy, which are superior in every way. Their graphics are second to none.

The only one of those new shoeis that I like is the new kagayama. The rest just dont do it for me. Im still very content with my current kagayama.

Suomy has the busiest graphics out of all the helmets. Shoeis are more classy.

yup, this is what i meant. the colors are just way too bright, and there's too many of 'em on one helmet. looks like a bad acid trip.

Yep- smooth,flowing lines, basic colors, understated badges.

The thing with Suomy is most of them look like they were spun in a tie die tank.

The 1989's were better looking than the Shoei's.

:lol: Id love to argue since I own an 08 shoei, but 1. Im not brand loyal to helmets and 2. Trying to find a graphic I liked on the x11 once I found out it fit best was a pain in the ass. The 08 kagayama was the only one I really liked and now the 09 kaga is the only one that I dont mind.

I'm just doing what I do. I know Shoei's are great helmets. But I like a flashy design. Shoei doesn't have any that I like. Thats all. Suomy's are insanely comfortable and they look great. Most importantly they fit me great.

Crucial. And I completely agree, Shoei doesnt have any bright flashy designs that I like. With how Ive been starting to like the brighter stuff lately it looks like Im going to have to try to find an arai or suomy that fits.

I actually saw a Shoei I like in an advertisement in SportRider this month. I think it was a Honda ad...their guy was wearing a Shoei. Had green stars on it.

I had never seen the back of it until I found that pic. And I actually had that issue right next to me, I dont know their inventory quite that well.

The black '09 Kagayam is my next helmet! I hope to have one by the end of next year. My '08 will be the back up/winter lid.

I personally like the feel of a Shoei TZ-R. My favorite design for it is the Tempest graphic from last year. I wish I hadn't destroyed that helmet.

If it was just last year. You may be able to find it on Ebay or other closeout stores.

I love the Camino! Although I am a bit pissed, the 2009 designs came out a few weeks after I bought a new helmet. I can't really afford another one now. Grrrrr.
