I updated my helmet last week to a Shoei RF-1000 and wow, what a difference at speed. For the past two years I have been riding with an HJC CL-15 helmet, but I guess it does not channel the wind nearly as well (for me). I do have the Yamaha Double Bubble windscreen and I no longer feel like forces (at speed greater than 70 mph) are pushing me backwards.
With just a slight tilt of my head at various speeds, the wind is a non issue...I still can't believe it. 80 mph, 85 mph....I could ride all day!!
I will however need to be more diligent at using earplugs if I plan on riding the highways for any length of time, but that should have been the case all along for me.
Like everything else, you get what you pay for. I guess I just never appreciated this with respect to helmets before....I do now.
