Time to get a new helmet too... will probably stick to the Sharks as I much prefer the one I have over any other I've had/tried!

I love your style man ! I appreciate your awesome collection there. I'm not up to speed on all models.

If you can come back with some info on each it would make this thread more informative for everyone.

In addition to my previous post. All helmets purchased have a story to tell from the start to the end.

Please share your experience.

Oops, my bad! They're all relatively old models now hence why I need a new one...

So from left to right,

Suomy Spec 1R Extreme - I don't even know if Suomy still makes road helmet but to be honest, this was not the best helmet to start with. Loud despite not being too ventilated either. I did like their rainbow visor as it was insanely good in the wet. Despite being marked as 57-58 it fits a lot tighter than the others. To a point where I don't even want to use it due to the PITA that is putting it on and taking it off. Once it's on, it feels good if a bit snug.

AGV TiTech - Shell is a bit bigger than others on the same size (Medium 57-58), I find the field of vision a bit too small when looking up (i.e. when you're on the side of the bike trying to look through the corner) but it's not terrible. Fit is really good. After I bought it, I was looking through ebay to find a tinted visor and came across this dude selling 12 different ones (all colors really) and put a bid in it without expecting to win the auction... Still have at least 4-5 of those which I never even used! hahahaha Only helmet I still wear out of the ones in the picture.

Shark RSR2+ - My favorite of the bunch by far. Great fit, spectacular visor, tons of air... really, I could never fault it. It was also the cheapest of the lot! Wish they still made them 'cause I'd probably buy one again. Since they don't, I'll go for the Race R Pro next.

My lid. Shark S900 I think it is.

Fairly quiet, and love the inbuilt sun visor.

Awesome. A nice idea would be to put up a long shelf in your garage or room of choice and display them.
I love the diversity with motorcycle helmets, one to not only suit head size etc, but colour schemes and personality.

hey Greenblood, I like this. The way the graphics continue over the visor pivot covers.
You have to be amazed at the quality of the finish too.
Looks stunning !
