I too have an XR1000 in gloss black with a tinted black visor! I love it. I must say tho, i have had it for over 2 years now so its time to get a newy, i have had 2 skids in it. Nothing major to the helmet. Hit the deck the first time and just slightly grazed it, and second did the same!

I will be upgrading very soon!

But i must say after this much time, helmet is still holding up well, sitll looks goods, its been in every element, rain, hail, sun, snow! I often clean it. I have a breathe guard also and can't stress how good they are!

If htey fit i would grab one. They are a very nice bit of kit and i am getting another one! thats how much i like them!

Thanks. I did end-up getting an XR. Very happy with it. Just got a dark smoke visor from the states for it, too.

I bought a relatively cheap AGV Stealth and couldn't be happier. Under $400 I think.

Whilst this topic is back ... loved the fit and feel of the shoei, but couldn't get a TZ-R (range was pretty limited here in canberra :\). as I couldn't aford the XR I ended up going with the shark RSI which also fit pretty well/
Probably get a Shoei next time

Mate, you should've tried The Helmet Warehouse. Waaaay cheaper than any shop.

Spent some quality time yesterday looking at lids, of course for my head it's Shoei and Arai that fit most comfortably and it was $679 for the TZ-R from this motorbike accessories joint, H Warehouse is heaps cheaper so I reckon it's gonna be an online purchase jobbie.

[mick_dundee]

Never saw the XR 1000 at the acceessories joint, not fully sussed out H Warehouse just yet, just had a bit of a browse

Procycles have the fully blinnged up XR1000 for about $500 at the moment in their sale.

I have both the TZ-R and XR1000 ...... I prefere the XR1000
