Scorpion EXO 900... Bought one back a few months ago and I love it. Very little wind noise, aviator visor definately a plus... could use a little better ventilation but still not a problem even down here in the dirty (not to mention hot and damn humid) South...

I have a Nolan regular modular. Simply feels like the best quality helmet I've ever touched. Way nicer than any Arai or other high end super bike helmet. The fit and finish is superior.
Other thing to consider. When I bought the Nolan I bought it for quality feel and also if you put the helmet under your arm and squeeze it front to back. The spot where the flip latches doesn't bulge like many others. So therefore IMO less likely to fail if you ever tried to get your head squished or face plant. Further, the latches were all metal on both side of the latch. Another piece that made me feel that it wouldn't come apart in a crash. |

I bought the HJC, $75, somebody stole the pads out of it and they sold it to me as is without the pads. The store down the street had the pads for $15.
Overall its not bad, the vents are positioned really funky and I dont see it being too good at letting air in and out, other than that it seems pretty solid, locks good, stays up, the glass didnt fog when i breathed on it hard. I'm gonna take it for a ride before I give it a full review but so far for the priice I got a good deal

IS Max. Overall they say its a better helmet than their more expensive offerings, but the visor could use some work, the article says the vents dont work, but looking at reviews online folks say it does work so I'll have to try it out and see for myself. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motor...et/hjc/is-max/
