Shoei RF 1200. Fits my head the bestest I've found.
I have several but my latest helmet is a Schuberth C-3 Pro with the SRC system... I like it !!!
I have been wearing a Shoei Neotec Modular but I voted 3/4 because over the Winter I bought a Shoei J-Cruise which is what I think I'll be using. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Bell Mag 9 Sena, Candy Red http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/b...-helmet-solids
Modified Sena to accept earbuds and yes it's for sale.
Next year I'll upgrade to the Arai CT-Z, Diamond White http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-ct-z-helmet
Shoei J-Cruise...Fits great and perhaps the quietest one I have worn to date...Great choice for me..A little tough to get eye glasses on, but I am going to straight back ear pieces this spring which will solve the problem....
SHARK RSR2
I wear a Nolan N-104
Speed & Strength... Spin Doctor... it's ok for a $160 helmet.
I bought it for the flip down visor, speed-release latches, styling, venting, and better airflow being a 3/4 helmet. I'd buy another one in a pinch, but given the luxury to shop around and see what else is out there, I'd do that. The helmet seems really noisy, even with the vents closed.
Scorpion
Bell Revolver modular, but it's driving me crazy cuz the right side makes a creaking noise while I'm riding. Gonna see if a can exchange it.
I really want a Shoei Neotec.
I have a Shoei RF1200 and another Shoei 3/4 helmet, which is what I wear most often. I am considering trying a Nolan N44 if it fits my head shape. I would like to have the flexibility that it offers and the very wide field of view.
Joe Rocket Carbon Pro 3/4 for both the wife and me. Changed from a O'Neal Commander full face. Dislike the loss of peripheral vision with a full face.
Schuberth flip up for the trips. And yah can eat a hamburger on the run:yes:
Has to be the quietest helmet on the market
An open face for the short trips and around town:icon_cool:
The only one I have ever found that fits my size 8 1/4 melon is.....
Attachment 12542
This is only one that really fits and I can wear all day and night in all types of conditions without it squeezing my ears, locking my jaw, cutting off my peripheral vision or muting the outside sounds so I feel like I'm in an isolation chamber.
Do I wish I could get something with a hell of a lot more protection and internal speakers and fit properly?...Hell yea, but so far I have not found one, and before anyone says 'blahblahblah' brand will fit... I have about 10 helmets on the shelf or hanging on the shop wall like a full face Shoie Z, very expensive and bought so I could race on the track, a Bell 3/4 to a brand new XXX large Scorpion that everyone saied would fit(it didn't) along with a few others.
I wish I had half the $ back I have spent over the years trying to find the perfect fitting MC helmet :301:
Attachment 12543
Oh I almost forgot...It's a $35 novelty helmet, not legal or safe anywhere...
I've got 3:
Schuberth C3 (full modular), Shoei J Cruise (3/4), and Scorpion EXO 110 (half).
I wear each depending on the weather and distance.
Each has its merits and downsides.
My favourite for the summer is the Scorpion. Being a half helmet, I can best hear the tunes on my audio system.
For cold weather, it's a tossup between the Schuberth and Shoei.
Shoei Qwest for me. Fits great, no complaints.
Shoei Neotec Modular. Love the fit and the versatility. For me nothing is as comfortable as a Shoei.
Nolan N-104
I really like the removable chin piece, 3/4 helmet for summer, full for winter.
And I can still smoke my pipe with the face shield down. :lolup:
I recently purchased the LaZer Monaco Carbon modular helmet with the transition photo chromatic face shield. This thing is extremely light weight and the face shield changes tint based on the available light from totally clear to dark tint in bright sunshine. It's available from Revzilla.com.
Arai Rx-Q and a Shoei Qwest.
Both fit great but the Arai is much quieter.
Beagle
I wear a Bell Revolver EVO Modular I find it very comfortable. I added the Transitions shield so I don't have worry about switching to sunglasses.
Speed and Strength Half helmet mostly, Scorpion full face in winter.
Both Dot and Snell ANSI approved.
J
The skully helmet as soon as it gets to my house!
I wear a Roof helmet. Attachment 12581
I use a large Arai Vector full face:
I like it because the shell is small enough to fit in my left saddlebag, it's very comfortable, well built, and light.
I'm thinking of trying a HJC RPHA Max modular for my next helmet.
http://hjchelmets.com/hjca/files/att...84cfb52f12.jpg
I've never been particularly impressed the HJC helmets in the past. They usually seem to have huge shell sizes and have a cheap feel. The RPHA Max, however, seems to be on par with the best. It's light, has a quality feel, and a small shell size. It is pretty expensive, but seems to be worth the price.

The RPHA is the middle helmet. It's quite a difference in shell size.

Matte black Shoei RF-1200.
Love it.
I've had a Lazer Monaco modular for about a year. It's light and the Transitions shield is the best reason to get one. You don't need sunglasses at all.
It flows a lot of air for me as well.
Hey Bobby, how's the wind noise through the Neotec? What color did ya get? I currently wear a Shoei Qwest. Fit is great, wish it had the sunvisor pulldown like the Neotec and GT Air. The only real draw back of the Qwest is there is not too much air flow (thus being one of the quietest helmet on the market), and the headliner is not removable for proper washing like the cheek pads are. I've been really debating which helmet I'm going to get next... the Shoei Neotec or the Shoei GT Air. I've always had a full-faced helmet... so not sure how I'd like a modular helmet.
Bell Mag 9 and Shark Raw helmet
Speed & Strength Top Dead Center which matches the F6B:

Now on the King, I need something with a little more... bravado...

Shoei Neotec Modular
Have one......just too loud even when wear ear plugs with music going! Love the view though!!!
Bell Mag 9, Drifter, 500, and Pit Boss
Shoei modular and St Cruz
A very nice helmet in my future is the Stealth lightweight CF model--full face that is lighter than my Scorpion 1/2 helmet. I saw one in Daytona and I was impressed! High quality at about $270 at the show.
