Hey Guys, happy holidays to everyone...i am from southeast of Oklahoma, just collected my Christmas gift and could not be more happier. what a lovely machine. took a picture of it from my cellphone but soon will do a nice photoshoot to upload.

I am a bit confused on what helmet to choose for my new baby out of the following two(image attached):
1. Shoei Rf-1100 trasmission($350). or
2. Shoei Rf-1200 Mystify($530).

I think they both will look good with the red beauty, I personally like the color scheme of rf-1200 more, but cant justify the price diffrence? is the rf-1200 really worth the extra green??

Thanks,
CJ.

CJ, the RF-1200 is the latest model of the Shoei sport-touring helmet lineup. Both are very good in their class. Best bet is to choose which one molds to your head better. I have the RF-1100 myself too, great helmet. If I had a chance or enough $$ to get another helmet, I'd choose between the GT-Air or RF1200.

Hope it helps!

You're welcome,CJ! Hope to hear your review on the helmet. Nice pics of ur 899 btw. Did the dealership offer any accessories with it ? Also, is it me or is there a swastika on the front fender in the first pic ? LOL

She believes it keeps the bad omen away....can hardly argue with her on that, can i ?? and the only accessories that i got was a T-shirt and all the tie-downs for the towing trailer that i rented out. I wish, i should have asked for some more...hummm.

Is your MIL Hindu? I've spent some time overseas and know that symbol is a good luck charm in other cultures and predates any of the negative connotations associated with it.

Congrats on the new beauty. Just had to ask, did someone get this Christmas gift for you? If so, then they are awesome! Either way enjoy the new ride
