I’ve had an XR1000 for a little over a year and love it.
Initially the only problem was some of the padding was a bit firm. I found that the cheek pads were so tight against my face that I kept biting the inside of my cheeks. Also my left earlobe would ache after long rides...
Happy to say that the helmet wore in quite quickly and it’s super comfortable now. The ventilation is the best I’ve ever had. Open all the vents and you can literally feel the wind rush through your hair, although the shape of the liner leaves “plough furrow” marks in my hair if I put the helmet on with wet hair.
I strongly recommend a pinlock visor. One came free in the box with the lid or I probably wouldn’t have tried it. No misting ever, in any weather. Just brilliant. I bought a black visor with its own pinlock film and the quick change system means I can swap them round in seconds.
I just bought a plain white one because I’m a bit of a cheapskate and resent paying up to £100 extra for a factory applied paintjob. However no matter what colour it’s a top lid.
Make sure that it’s a good fit. I happen to have a Shoei-shaped head, but not everyone finds them comfy. ____________________ 2007 CBF1000-ABS - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

Ive had one for a couple of years, really light, the only thing i would say its a racing helmet so use ear plugs on longer runs. Get a mirror visor looks class. As said above, the helmet hurt to put it on at first but am glad i got the size i did as it now fits like a glove and the visability is great. Well woth the money in my eyes. Pinlock is great i got a tinted mirror visor and clear pinlock works great. ____________________ Current: 2019 Yamaha T7 -> 2015 KTM Superduke R | 2000 Yamaha R1 Past -> 2009 KTM 990 SM -> 2005 kawasaki ZX10r -> 2000 Honda CBR 600 FY -> 2002 Honda XLV 125 Varadero

Great helmets. I had mine for 2 years too. Nothing wrong with them other than the liner is not fully removable so getting a more customised fit can be difficult. Small was TOO small and Medium was a smidge loose. I ended up buying thicker cheek pads for it. Also a helmet of that spec should ideally come with a chin curtain - which it didn't so i nicked one off my HJC and that sorted the problem.
Good lids, ultra light, vents work awesomely and pinlock is a godsend. Get one with a black visor and you're laughing. It shares my headcaring duty with my arai which i prefer at the moment because its less draughty. Lightest lid i've worn. ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &
