Bought this helmet about a year ago just before I got the Ducati Mondeter 620ie and on a naked bike like the Monster it's damned noisey even with visor closed the wind howls so had recently been looking at different helmets looking for one that does not deafen the rider but then I bought this Triumph Trophy and riding it has been a revelation the LS2 Rapid 11 is quiet I can even ride with the visor open it's all down to the screen so the Rapid 11 must be a touring helmet the only snag that I still have is that it hurts my ears and it has not broken in and have covered over 3,500 miles on the Monster so far. Will give the helmet a bit longer while we sort out the little bits on the Trophy and see how things go. Plezier
Yes and don't like using them in the past had to use them at work in some very noisy places and did not like it the either. Also used them on the range when shooting but thatwas different . Still fail to see why my old Centurion full face was not noisy like these new helmets seem to be and that bike was LOUD Honda 750FB DOCH running on straight through drag pipes. Plezier
Hmmm I don't swallow that as my Griffen open face was polycrbonate as was the Stadium 9 also open face hmmm the make of my first fibreglass also open face escapes at the moment bought that one from the Kawasaki Centre at Lowfield Heath (they called it Gatwick) but it was actually Lowfield Heath Ohhhh yes it was a Cromwell helmet. Bought the Centurion Firebird helmet from Northeasts the local Honda and Reliant dealer in Horley and I think the shop is still going ran by one of the sons though it is no longer a main dealer like it was back then Rex and Leon tried to keep it going by taking on an Enfield India franchise but that was a disaster due to the really crappy Quality Control of Enfield India in the end Rex told then to shove it and get their crap out of his shop! On another note just came back from a little blat out on the Trophy done 550km now and this afernoon lubed the drive chain which according to the handbook is supposed to be every 300km !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what about touring on the bike having to stop half way through the day to lubricate the rear chain???.
