totalbike.com Reviews on Shoei RF-1000 Helmet

Ive been riding motorcycles for over 23 years and have owned many brands of helmets, including Shoei, Arai, HJC, Nolan, KBC, Bell and Icon. Of these, Shoei is the best. The Shoeis last longer without any problems, are not as noisy as other helmets, better ventilated and can take a beating. The other helmets tend to incur small problems after a year or two, but the Shoeis have lasted at least five years and is still in great shape. I just bought the Shoei RF-1000 and instantly noticed that it is lighter than my previous helmets. Shoeis will be more expensive than most other helmets, but its worth it because you'll use it for a long time. Buy a cheaper helmet and you'll be replacing it every 1-2 years.

Review by: surprise

hey, this is not just another can. i was skeptical because of all the hype. but really, its pretty good. the helmet doesnt get jerked by the wind when I turn my head. i can hear pretty well, albeit a bit muffled. i can see great out of this thing and it doesnt give me a headache (like when you look through cheap shields for hours). that breath guard is a really good idea, especially after Indian food. heck yea, Im pleasantly surprised.
