XR1100 - very stable at speed, good fit, some great designs. Winner in my book out of those. AGV have been a little 'suspect' in recent years, with poor build quality in comparison.

All IMO of course....

XR1100, brilliant helmet. There's a bloke on ebay from Blackpool that sells pattern copy tinted visors for about 25 quid, and they're very good quality (Genuines are £45 ish)

XR1100 is indeed a cracking lid, I tend to wear my Shark's but if it is hot ou and I need the massive amount of ventilation the Shoei brings, it is on with the 1100.

Have you considered something like a shark Speed R or Race R? worth a look IMO
