Shoei is nicer than AGV I think. New/recent HJCs are still pretty good though.
I had an HJC about 8 years ago. It slowly fell apart in use where as the Shoei I replaced it with went on and on and on. No wear at all. IU put three visors on the Shoei it lasted well.

I swear by HJC helmets. Comfortable, stylish, well made and cheaper than most other big brands. Bought an FS-15 the other week back and it's a very good bit of kit.

Best check ebay as i'm sure theres XR1100s' on there going for around the 240-250 mark

I bought an HJC PHA 10 (Ben Spies) at the bike show last week for £250. Been looking at eBay etc for a time and found them for around £275 (RRP £400). Very pleased with it too.

The Shoei XR1100 is a great helemt, very aerodynamic, very well built and pretty quiet. Not sure what you size is but you can pick them up from about £220 new on Fleabay.

Not much help now but I picked up a gloss black one from Hein Gericke when they were closing down for £165...... Bargain!!
