This is my 3rd RF-1400 helmet (medium). I have the Prologue and Gundam RF-1400. This helmet is absolutely beautiful. The colors, while subtle, still call attention to it. It adds a little splash of color, breaking the monotony. I wear this helmet while riding my Suzuki S-1000GT+. I also wear earplugs. While the helmet is both light weight and quiet, I still use the earplugs because of the wind noise hurting my ears. I also ordered the thicker inner liner as there is too much space for me between the top of the head and the helmet. The cheek pads fit great. I made two additional changes: added a transition visor and a Brake-free light. I would definitely recommend this helmet and this particular model.
