I've got this one: http://www.2kmotors.com/luke/auctions/Helmet/ It was too small for me. If you want it, $150 TYD, it's new in box with helmet bag. **EDIT** It's a KBC VR-2 Gunslinger size Medium (I think it's the 2005, maybe 2006 model, but not the current model).
agreed! i miss my vr-1's. and make sure it fits you good. not loose. the shark helmets are nice too but this is not a motorcycle forum so we'll save that for later
later

Sounds like you've already tried some on which is good. I would continue with that, everyones head is slightly different and you'll find that some brands will fit you better then others. If you have a Cycle Gear near you it's a great place to try on various helmets as they usually keep a wide selection. Once you've found a brand that fits you well then go online and buy it because better deals can be found.
I myself wear a shoei x11. Wind noise isn't all to bad even with all the vents it has.
