I have one and like it. But you need to wear ear plugs to keep going deaf from the wind noise. One down side is that there is no dark shield for it so you have to go the sunglass route or if wearing glasses clipons. Also make sure it fits a little on the tight side as as it wears in it gets looser. But on the plus side you will get plenty of compliments.

I bought one off some guy here on the rat.net classifieds. The pluses are the ease of use and the nifty Nolan strap release. The negatives are the light weight (I don't have the same feeling of confidence in it like I do with my Shoei) and the TWO BIG UGLY LOGOs. I finally blacked out the logos and found some Triumph decals on ebay to go over the spot. I have neutral feelings about the face shield. It's convenient, but not the best quality or thickness. To sum up, in my opinion, it's a great run down to the hardware store helmet, but if it's going to be your only lid and you want retro, be nice to Santa and ask for a Davida.

I have it and love it, but I have to confess it's my only helmet so far. I like the style (with logos) and the light weight, but it's only good up to about 70MPH as a full facer is probably
needed at this speed.
