Shoei helemts...

[Saki]

G'day guys,

I am in the market for another shoei. I am now tossing up between the Shoei X-Eleven or Another XR-1000. Currently sporting a gloss black XR1000 which i think is Fantastic! but i am interested to know if anyone out there is using an X-eleven and has tried an XR1000 and can give me any advise or any comparison and if its worth the extra few hundred... i think the xr1k looks better but its not always about the looks!

Thanks

i think the xr1k looks better but its not always about the looks!

Its not? Oh, ok

I have nothing useful to say, just thought I'd be annoying

Mine is a Shoei TZ-R and I think its great, but have never had another to compare

its not always about the looks!

This is news. Thank you for sharing that. I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

The x-11 is a lighter helmet with better ventilation
The trade off is noise

just bort a x11 rainey 2,its a update to my old xr8 rainey i bort in 93 ,vents work great -noise is arr ok ,the make-up is no where near as good as the old xr8,which had carbon fibre in it,these new ones are just plastic fantastic now. but there still good.

OUCHIES!!! that really doesn't look good swabio!!! sorry to see that mate!

Has anyone tried an X-11 and XR1000 ?

[ttc]

I had an x-11 but sold it as i found it too noisy
never had a xr1000 though

I just bought myself a TZR vogue. the girlie pink and black one. I had an off in november (still not able to ride yet) and the helmet went, it was a KBC so i upgraded to the shoei, haven't ridden, (obviously) in it yet, but it feels very light.

I must say, the kbc one felt pretty good on, but perhaps just slightly heavier.

cheers
