I have a GT Air (previous generation), with a Sena 20S setup.

Drop down visor is great, came with a pin lock anti fog insert, good venting. Love it.

I have a GT-Air with Sena 30K, I have had the GT air for just over 5 years now it's still going strong.

The Sena 30K wasn't impressive when I got it, but with the latest 2.23 update it rocks. The 30K is top of the line.

I just repainted my GT-Air Metallic Diablo Black to match my H2SX.

I have the Shoei Air first gen and love it as well. Also have the sena 20s which the microphone bit the dust on and the little research I did said even replacing the microphone wouldn't fix it, something else is broke with it? Loved the sena till that happened, now looking elsewhere. :no: :rant:

I really loved my gen 1 GT-Air. It was perfect for the summer temps we get here and good into the low 30’s in the winter. But until they make a decent color scheme that does not clash with this bike I will stick with the RF-1200. Image

I have a Shoei Air but when it is raining my neck becomes wet because there is no lip at the backside to avoid this.
The new Air II has a larger shell at the backside.

I've had the GT Air and Sena 10R for about 5 years now and I love it. As mentioned the drop down visor is awesome and it's comfortable and moves air.

Just purchased the Bell Race Star Flex DLX helmet because of the reviews and the Cardo Packtalk Slim with JBL speakers...because of the reviews. Haven't had a chance to test them out yet but the Bell is definitely lighter (carbon) and has plenty of vents. No drop down lens but it has a 'Panovision ProTint Photochromic' shield that darkens when exposed to the sun. I don't know if it was a mistake but there were 3 shields in the box, 2 regular and 1 ProTint already installed.

Both helmets are XL but the Bell helmet is considerably larger, I look like the Vader in' Space Balls' but I believe it offers 1st rate protection and it's Snell approved.
