Guess they stopped the rf-1000 camber line up.... it came in a few colors, green was one(pic).
The TZ-R comes green, I wonder how they differ from the rf-1000. < other than $30 less. |

i heard that the rf-1000 is being replaced. if you really want one, why don't you just get one in black? that way, it will match whatever you are wearing.
here is shoei's new helmet. not sure if this is the one replacing the rf-1000 though:

I tried on an RF-1000, and it was like wearing a pillow. God I love these god damn helmets. Green just makes me think of slime, or snot, or mold, or anything else disgusting. I'd never own a green helmet, much less a green bike. Apparently I am an RF-1000 designer in a parallel universe. True story. |

Forget the RF-1000, for a similar price you can pick up Shark's top of the line (for now) RSR2.
I've had both and while their both quality lids, the RSR2 *blows* the Shoei out of the water (comfort, ECE > Snell, ventilation, weight, and Shark's 3mm thick visor). |
