I wear a RF1000
Reason was all the ratings said it was great for less Noise . I tried it on and it fits great . Two wins and it was on sale made it a sold helmet
main reason every time is cause they fit our head

Lost in TX and I dont want to be found ,
2012Yamaha Tenere 1200 for really wandering off the beaten path
2005 GL1800 Sold to another to enjoy
2006 ST1300 Gone but not forgotten
2009 ZX14 Also gone and will be replaced someday
some of the best of both worlds

I ordered a Shoei Qwest today. Supposedly its a more comfortable, quieter version of the RF-1100. So I guess Ill find out in a couple days when it shows up.
