Which one is that ?

My wife has a 400 and for the $$ it's a decent helmet imho.

*edit* just realized that is a 700...cool.

What's cost?

I think they were $442. They had the blue Vermulien and one with a red dragon

Other big companies need to start putting anti-fog sheilds on their helmets. The anti-fog sheilds on the Scorpion's work awesome.

Absolutely agree!! Just don't be a dumbass like me and use anything but water to clean the interior...DUH!!!

Yep, last Saturday I had about 1/2 inch of visibility at the top during the rain. That sucked ass.

What's your thoughts on the 10R vs the 750?

No comparison. The 750 is lighter, turns in easier, changes directions faster, AND it has enough grunt to power down the straights. I'll never own a literbike again.

I love my exo-400. I would have gotten the 700, but I found a deal on a discontinued graphic for mine that made it 105 shipped.

I liked my 400 as well. But the venting in my Shoei were 10x better. I heard the X-11's venting is even better than the Rf1000. I got a Kagayama waiting for me to get home.

From the little bit Ive tried mine on before I broke my face its definitely a badass helmet.

I remember now. We have the same one then. Mine's still better. What did you pay? Mine was $410 shipped with a tinted screen, too. But mine was used several times. Looks new still.

I got mine brand new from motogiya (vendor that had just joined twf) for 495 shipped. You def got a better deal on yours but I still cant complain when retail on it was almost 700. Im just tryin to figure out if Im going to get a tinted screen or a mirrored one now.

If it's the same screen used for the X11 and RF1000, I have an extra one. Sell it to you cheap.

I meant smoke or dark smoke, etc. Let me know a price and Ill probably take it off your hands instead of having to order one.

Alright good deal. I was hopin for a dark one since I have a plain smoke on my old helmet that was too light. Let me know what you want for it and send me the pics when you get home and Ill buy it from you.

And I bet it feels damn good to be able to say that youll be home on tuesday

Do they use the same shield? I know my RF-1000 uses the CX-1V and the CX-1 that a lot of Shoeis use does not fit (I tried).

Looks nice man. Not as flashy as I would expect from you, though :lol:

Just make sure that thing has a composite shell and not a polycarbonate one. If it doesn't, return it.
