I also thought that spending $539 on a helmet would get me the best. I must say that my Shoei X-Eleven fits great but mine has problems. Over sixty if jitters and blurs vision, and the 3-position side lever that is supposed to crack the visor open slightly to defog when you stop, doesn't work no matter how hard I lean on it.
I email Shoei America and they told me to send the helmet in. But it's a hassle I can do without. About the jitter they said that I need thicker cheek pads. Gee, it fits really snuggly now, if they put thicker cheek pads I'll have to whistle all the way to make room for them...
They said that probably can adjust the visor so the lever works. They didn't comment on my complaint about their manual, written in terrible English, where it gives the impression that the lever must be adjusted but doesn't say how... Can't they afford a native English speaker to write their little manual? It's incredible.
I have a much cheaper Nolan and it's a great helmet, not as light and quiet as the Shoei, but trouble free and it has a great strap system, better than the ubiquitous D-system, for my taste. You can fasten and unfasten it wearing the thickest gloves no problem at all, and in one second. And it has a second -- removable -- sun visor on top of the full face visor, which is very handy.
