Yea they're pretty close... I know with my head shape most helmets either fit great or they don't fit at all. It may just be because this one is still new, but it feels a tiny bit tighter around the forehead area, but not much.... nothing that causes any discomfort or anything. One of the biggest differences I've noticed between the two is the Scorpion is more narrow towards the bottom, around your neck area. It's great once it's on cuz it makes for a more snug fit and quieter with windnoise and whatnot, but getting it on and off can be a chore over the ears, whereas the Shoei would just slip right on and off. That very well may have been because it was so worn too, though... who knows. I've only had this one for 2 days so I'm sure it'll break in some in that area and feel better soon
