Hi all,
I'm looking to replace my Shoei RF-1000 and I was looking for some opinions on the RF-1100 vs the X-12. I am not opposed to spending the extras money on the X-12 but I'm not sure if it's right for me. My use would be mostly street, with a few track days a year thrown in, and I've read some reviews that the X-12 is not as street friendly as the RF-1100. I ride a naked on the street so it has a more upright position and I've read that this can cause venting issues with the X-12.
If any of you went with the X-12 were there functionality reason behind your decision to spend the extra coin or did you just want the top of the line (not that that isn't a valid reason)? Do you see issues with it on the street vs the track?
Thanks for your thoughts.
