After hearing and reading all the incredible reviews about Scorpion helmets, I decided I needed one. When New Enough offered the INCREDIBLE deal for $109 for the EXO-700, I was sold. I always liked the Red/Black Burst so it was a complete "no brainer." The attention to detail of this helmet is incredible. I can't believe I'm getting this much helmet for the money. The fit is spot on and the helmet feels incredibly comfortable on my head. I ride a 80 FZ6 and I tested it with and without my ear plugs. This helmet is not that loud. I would find it comfortable in the city. (Always wear ear plugs at highway speeds though.) It flows an impressive amount of air. There was no lifting of the helmet at highway speeds when turning my head. I've tried on plenty of helmets as you have to find the right "fit." The Scorpion seemed to nail me as it's much more comfortable than the Shoei I tried on or the Arai. I've owned HJC helmets and a GMax GM68S. I see me getting a LOT of use out of this Scorpion. Let's hope I don't have to crash test it.
