I'm with you on that, I don't need music or conversation when I ride.
But, lighter materials, and air vents that actually work would go a long way towards getting those on the "fence" to wear a full-face helmet more often. I have a cheap full-face DOT approved helmet. It has a chin bar that flips up along with replaceable shields that flip up as well, but I'd rather ride with my shorty any day.
As jj says, it is 2005-6, there should be more emphasis on comfort and utility than on Troy whatshisname graphics.
