I'm not a Shoei guy but I've owned a couple and found them to be good quality. Whay are you using it for?

By the way... how about a Shark RSI.... $150.

There's a ton of $300-400 lids on sale for about $150 right now. If it's a bitch lid you need, I have a Scorpion EXO-400 I'd sell for $50 plus ship. I think she wore it 5 times max.

The RF1000 has a non-detachable liner so when it's time to clean, you gotta wash the whole helmet and let it dry, but otherwise it's a high quality helmet as typica of Shoei products.

I have a shark RSI. Great helmet. Very comfortable. Extremely light. But, its loud and I have no visor lock. When I'm going fast and do a shoulder check, the visor sometimes opens.
