The SBTG guy says in the comparo vid of the RSR, X-11, and Star that they all fit the same. (09 and older Star models need one size down from standard) Quote:

The fit issue with the 09 and older Bell Star's was just a size thing. If you normally wore a large, you would probably need a medium, etc. For the 2010 models they have fixed it, and they should follow sizing with Shoei, Shark, and Arai. After looking at all the vids, I think I'm going to go with the X-11. A bit better venting, I already have visors for it, and I like the graphic better. The Star in the Ace of Diamonds is a close second however.... The helmet bag is a cool bonus, but I don't know that I would ever use it |

Is Shark considered a "high end" helmet?
I've tried on every helmet out there and every Arai, Shoei, and Suomy fit all to no avail. HJC's fit me perfectly (unfortunately) so I've always stuck with them, and they've done me well. A few of my racer friends suggested Scorpion's after having the same issues as me, and they've had no complaints and crashed in them. |

For triple the price you can get a suomy or an arai that is slightly lighter and cools a little better . What it really comes down to is that you should go to a store and try a few on, see which one FITS CORRECTLY, is most comfortable, and is in your price range. That should be your criteria for selecting a helmet, in that order.

I tried on the HJC FS-15carbon. It is very light and felt comfortable on my head. It fits better than the Scorpions. I'd like to try on the Bell double Apex but I can't find anyone who stocks that model.

The new X12 looks badass. Of course being brand new it will be $600+

Haven't seen it for under $700. And per the reviews it vents less and is louder than the X-11, the RF-1100 is a better helmet.
