No regrets here mate. I live 20 minutes from my dealer.
When I picked up the bike, I told my wife that I'll see her in half an hour.

I came home 3 hours later , that's right, giggling.

I have that Shoei RF-1400 Nocturne in white/red/green, size large. It just fits my oval head perfectly and has the Italian colors.

Keep in mind that the check pads are really tight until you’ve worn it a few hours. It’ll loosen up.

I have both the SHOEI RF-1400 and the Arai RX7-V. They are both great helmets but I actually prefer the SHOEI.

The SHOEI feels like it has better fit and finish, is easier to disassemble and is more compact (she’ll) and is also lighter.

My problem with it is that it creates pressure points above my temples [emoji3525] so it doesn’t work with my head shape. If you have a longer and narrower head shape then it might work for you.

My suggestion is… read up on helmet head shape and choose what suits your shape. Or even better, find someone or somewhere that will let you try them.

We help you find the best fitting motorcycle helmet. Measure your head and we'll compare your head size and shape to the sizing of popular helmets we've personally measured.

Worth every penny. Off of measurements alone I was wearing the wrong size. I had to up a size and add bigger cheek pads. No more hot spots.

I have a pair of Alpinestars Track V2 pants that I zip into a Atem V4 jacket sometimes. Mostly, I ride in Alpinestars Copper V2 jeans with knee and hip armor installed.
