Super System 6

I never liked full helmets until I found the BMW System 6. Lightweight and low noise talked me into buying this lid. My glasses don't fit well with padding

Caberg Konda noisy at low speeds

I found the the Konda to be quite noisy even at low speeds. Closing the full face unit I found it wasn't locking in unless you slam it quite hard and operating

Q: The best helmet to combat wind noise?

By far the best brand to combat wind noise is Schuberth, they spend a lot of time and money on making sure that their helmets are the quietest on the market

Arai RX7 GP

I recently purchased my helmet from Moto Central and I'm really pleased with it. Many people complain about the noise but these helmets are made for racing

The Shoei XR 1000 Motorcycle Helmet --> View Prices -->

*ARTICLE UPDATE*

Shoei have released an updated version of the XR 1000, the Shoei XR 1100 is the latest model.

Read more about the Shoei XR-1100...

The XR-1000 is well known to Motorcycle Magazines and media. It has won awards and is widely accepted as an excellent track day, touring or everyday use motorcycle helmet.

Owners tell us that they are generally very happy with the Shoei XR1000 but some complain about the wind noise. The XR 1000 is quite loud at higher speeds (on the motorway). This is because it has fairly big vents to keep your head cool.

If you wear glasses then this is the perfect helmet, it doesn't press the sides of your glasses into your head or bend them as unfortunately a lot of other motorcycle helmets do!

The XR1000 has been superseded by the XR1100 so if you find stores that have the XR 1000 still in stock then it will probably be fairly cheap, if by the time you read this they're aren't any XR1000's left then the new Shoei XR-1100 is still a great buy.

Shoei XR1000, NOISY!
I would not buy another xr-1000, it's too noisy. I ride an RSVR, RS125 and a Suzuki 1200 Bandit - the noise is the same on all bikes. The pain is un believable....
