Anyone have an RF-1200 in "Brilliant yellow"?
My Arai Signet-Q is about five years old, so I'm looking to replace it. I liked it, but I tried on an RF-1200 yesterday at the local dealer, and I think it fit me better than the Signet-X does. So, I'm hoping that's my next helmet. Trouble is, I prefer my helmets to be UV reactive solid safety yellow, for better visibility and maximum dorkiness.
The lady at the dealer told me they don't stock the RF-1200 in any solid color besides black, but they could order what they called "Brilliant Yellow." Question is, is that actually UV reactive safety yellow, or just plain banana yellow? I can't really tell from the photos I've seen, but it looks like maybe the latter. Anyone here have one of these, or seen one in person? |

I had one, up until I crash tested it. Shoei's solid yellow is a primary yellow, not a highway safety yellow. That said, it's does stand out in traffic quite well without making you look quite as nerdy.
