Make sure the helmet fits your head!! Don't buy a helmet just because it looks nice, and don't skimp out on your helmet. If you are going to drop alot of money on anything, the helmet is your first bet.
I had the rf1000 helmet, and now have the X-11 Helmet. The X-11 is great, runs a little bit smaller compared to the rest of the helmets in Shoei's line up. But it is light weight and the Air flow is noticble at low speeds. Shoei's tend to fit my head the best out of all the helmets I have tried on, although the Aria's (Have a RX-7) have such a plush feeling to the cushions they use.
Go to a local shop and try on different helmets to wear and keep them on your head for a good little while. Some helmets have a good initial fit, but after a while they may start to hurt. So wear the helmet for a good 10-15 min if possible. It is a big investment.
