Shoei helemts...

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.

I tested my X11 out @ OP.... and it worked well

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

Has anyone tried an X-11 and XR1000 ?

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
