Disappointing Shoei X-11 Helmet

I got a Shoei X-11 helmet after the good reviews on it.

It fits great but no matter how tight I fasten it it jitters above 60 mph, which blurs vision somewhat. It is rather annoying.

The helmet fits me very snuggly to the point of being almost painful to get off. So it is not the size. At more than $500 this is just not right. I have cheaper helmets that don't have this problem at all.

The lever that cracks open the lid to reduce fogging doesn't work either. And the manual is hilarious. Can't Shoei hire anyone who can write a decent manual in English?

I am thinking of selling it in Ebay and trying something better.
