Well first Chad, I've always found Modular helmets a little easier to get on and off than standard Full-Face helmets.(might be my big ears)
And secondly, yeah you're right, the Modulars when the chin bar is flipped up usually do create air resistance at the top when you're riding at higher speeds.
However, this is why I like the concept of that Shark Evo line, because the chin bar flips up and behind the helmet, so that it's much more aerodynamic when you'd like it to be a 3/4 open-face style.
Oh, and for future reference here, the reason some folks like full-face helmets is because if they're riding at high speed on, say, an Interstate for long periods of time and without a windshield attached to their bike, a full-face helmet makes it much more pleasurable and far less tiring to do so.
(...yep, in fact, YOU might even find that to be true IF you ever get over your little "aversion" or "fear" of not "lookin' cool/tough/manly enough" out there to others while you're ridin' around on your bike!)
