Shoei Helmets

[sooty521]

Hi all

I am thinking of upgrading me helmet from my AGV Stealth to a Shoei X Spirit or 1000.

The main reason is I want a quieter helmet (I wear plugs anyway) and for comfort, as I ride about 300 miles a week, all year round.

Has anyone got any experience of these helmets, as the reviews I have read seem to suggest that the 1000 is quieter than the the X Spirit?

Thanks for any advice!

hi mate i do have first hand experience with both these helmets, if its a quiet helmet you want you cant lose with the shoei xr1000. plus i think you can get that whisper strip kit for this helmet and the raid 2,

if this helps this sight is great for shoei helmets i think they still do the buy a shoei helmet and get a free visor of you choose all for the respectable price of £235.00 for a XR1000

hope this helps

Thanks mate, it looks like the XR1000 is the one to go for, depending on fit!

There was no link on your post, but my friendly Yam dealer is selling plain colours for £199, just hope he has whisper kits!

Cheers again for your advice.

Thanks again

Picked up my XR1000 today, with whisper kit (makes it a bit tight to get on!)

Will try out tomorrow and let you know how it is

Cheers

Well I got the XR1000, and cannot believe how quiet and comfortable it is! (got whisper kit as well)

Thanks to everyone for their advice, priceless as always!
