I Love, love, love that beacon graphic.
 
Unfortunately, the RF1200 doesnt even come close to fitting my head. :(

im kind of new to street riding i bought a modular gmax 54. fits good little warm but we are getting upper 80 heat here in upstate ny and im sure everywhere else it hot too. i like the back light on the helmet for night ridding. btw are modular helmet as good (safe) as full face helmet?

I went with the Shoei GT Air Wanderer w/ the yellow stripe. So far no complaints. No issues with the lens fogging, just my damn glasses fogging haha.

Just picked up a Shoei RF-1200, matte black. $449 at Cycle Gear. I love it! Going from a cheaper Gmax modular. What a difference! So much lighter and my head doesn't get flung around on the highway. Field of view dramatically improved. Feels much safer too. Protect your brain!!

Arai signet GT I was at a motorcycle shop and the aria rep was there so he fitted me with three different models of Arai. Each model has a different shape to fit different shaped skulls. The signet GT was a perfect match.
 
IMO never buy a helmet just because it looks cool, make sure it fits your head correctly.

I'm currently wearing a white Shoei 1200RF, but it's 5+ years old and I've taken a few spills on it, so I will soon be wearing this awesome Bell: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/71724/i/bell-vortex-grinder-helmet
in the blue/red/white colors.
 
As an aside, I actually ordered it from Revzilla, but I like MSS too so I used their link :)

See my avatar, lol. It's an Arai, but not I can't remember which model it is. I have a couple Arai's, and I also bought a cheap HTC with the retractable inner sunshade. It's nowhere near as comfortable as the Arai, but it's nice to have that sunshade when I need it.

A HJC- RPHA-10 Modular (approx 500.00 CDN) It also has the drop down fighter pilot style shades; I'll never buy another without this option. The visor stays where you want it, vents well. Love it.

I recently purchased a Shoei Gt air Regalia, a local store was selling them for $499 so I upgraded from a cheap Bell. The fit and comfort is second to none. It is so air tight fogging was a huge problem until I installed the pin lock visor that came with it and now 100% no fogging. The only thing is that the pin lock visor scratches really easily, but overall it is an amazing helmet.

I was debating if to get a new exhaust or not. Then I realized that my (cheap from e-bay) AGV Miglia was over four years old. Time for a new helmet. I spent more than I wanted (but less than the cost of the exhaust I liked :) ) and got a Shoei Neotec. I will report when it gets here.

Well I ended up getting neon from motorcyclegear.com 169.00 to my front step,and so far I am pretty happy with the fit (XL fits snug usually wear L) sun visor works great and the shield its a breeze to operate while riding,if all vents are open it gets little noise but bearable closing top two vents quiets it down.Another point to add is the neon sticks out,I notice people see me much better then when I was using my all black shoei.
