The new Shoei XR-1000 I just bought is lovely and quiet. Best lid I've had for cutting out the noise, in fact.


Must be UK thing. The only thing I can find in a Shoei close is the RF-1000. Looks like it though. I don't have a Shoei head, they're a bit too oblong for me. HJCs and Nolans do well, but they're not so quiet. And for some reason we (or at least I) don't get pinlock standard. My Nolan has pins on the shield for it, but it only comes ordered separately. I always use ear plugs but it's still pretty darn noisy!
