Shoei X-12 Helmet

Looking into getting (or saving up...) for this helmet. Anyone have any experience with it?

I have that exact helmet with a gold visor used for 1 year of racing, actually if you want to buy it, I'll give you a good deal

Its a badass helmet, super comfortable, the interior is nice and soft, I have zero complaints about it other than its $$$. The aero on it is sweet, its fairly quiet as helmets go, but I did find that the airflow in the X-11 was slightly better, the x12 is comparable to the RF-1000 airflow & weight wise, just nicer, quieter and with better aero.

Also with the matte black, if you armor-all the outside, it looks ridiculously sexy.

Size large, PM me if you're interested! I loaned it to a friend of mine to race with, but he hasn't used it yet, so I'd need to steal it back from him first haha

Also an FYI, I picked up a rf-1100 from sportbiketrackgear.com and it's off the chain insane. Good for street or track.
