    I am now looking at the Arai Ram X
    most expensive of the 3 at $699.99 but is supposed to be rated the best and safest????

    Arai Ram X $699.99 / Shoei J-Cruise II $599.99 / Shuberth M1 Pro $599.99

    UPDATE

    I bought a Shoei J-Cruise 2 after they finally came back in stock.

    I bought this helmet after a month of continuous research youtube etc...
    I could not find any of the top helmets anywhere to try out in person.

    I bought this helmet for these reasons:
    Safety
    High ratings
    airflow
    drop down dark sun screen
    comfort
    stability at speed (no buffeting)

    I sent it back for these reasons:
    It was not as comfortable as my old Schuberth C3
    When the vents were open it was way too loud (annoying)
    It had some buffeting

    I could not find this info on youtube
    I was able to install my SENA 50S

    My plan now is:

    For riding in the Florida heat and for comfort

    Schuberth C3 modular
    I removed the chin bar and shield
    I use Wiley X Airrage Sunglasses with the foam insert

    For rain and cooler weather

    I am looking at Schuberth C4 Pro or Shoei Neotech 2

    I am leaning towards the Schuberth C4 Pro

    I just got the Shoei Neotech 2 last week, I installed the Sena SRL system that was designed for this helmet. The helmet is much quieter than my old RF-1200 (I put over 80,000 miles on it), It is much more comfortable, and has better airflow. I already put about 1,000 miles into the Neotech 2 over the weekend, and I gotta say, I am very impressed with it, even with the chin bar down and the wind visor raised (with the tinted visor insert down) there wasn't too much noise, there was little to no buffeting even at 90 mph, and it stayed comfortable for over 6 hours of riding a day. I highly recommend this helmet.

    Schuberth C4 Pro

    Does anyone have this helmet?

    How is the pre-installed SENA?

    I've got one and have zero problems with it. Though I only use the BT receiver to connect to my Garmin, I get the GPS and my tunes just fine. Note I also wear "Earpeace" ear plugs as well which really chops out the wind noise and allows the music to come through just fine.
