The fit is a little weird, so maybe you need to take a trip out here and come try one on at dual sport touring.
The multitec has been phased out, shoei has a new version that looks like a complete schuberth ripoff.

LOVE mine... here's the +/-'s
+makes photography, communication easy... though this is just a general Modular helmet +
+relatively quiet... though haven't warn it on the DRZ so I don't know what's the helmet and what's the windscreen.
+WARM when closed... flows very little air when the vents are closed... even the coldest days my face never got cold.
+vents open flow massive amounts of air(still had the flap blocking the inside of the top vent and still felt it cool. gonna love it in the MS Winter.
+ease of use. the one button open is nice... and well designed for use with gloves.. especially nice when your hands are frozen and can't pinch two buttons like a few of the Nolans I've seen.
+Visor has nice detents to keep it open at various levels, and has a nice solid clip in the center to make sure it stays sealed.
+Sun-visor is perfect for me... not too dark... not too light... a common issue with them I've read.
+Chin curtain wraps tight around your neck so less wind noise comes from under the helmet.
+winter insert in the chin reduces area exposed to the Sub-zero temps when riding... and works well.
+Pin-lock works well when not getting snowed on
+detents for speakers in the liner
now the Neg
- Pin-lock doesn't work at all when snow or ice gets on the visor.
- chin area has to be held down as I lower the front or it hits the front of my chin and won't secure...
- sun visor control forces Sena to be mounted further back... not a big issue since I have the remote mount mic.
all of my Neg are minor issues. This is a phenomenal helmet... and on this trip... I was GLAD I payed $700 for it. it really exceeded expectation for me.
