    Shoei x-spirit 2 vermullen rep. I've had several agv's and went up in style to the Shoei. Love it.

    So with regards to the xspirit i guess the question from me should be - Should i buy the xspirit 2 or the cheaper xspirit?

    I never owned the first version so can't help you there, don't forget the XR1100 that's great for the money

    Better vision and ventilation from the xspirit 2 but only slightly, xspirit was fantastic lid, had it for 3-4 years and loved it also had the xr-1000 pre runner to the xr-1100 which was amazing value for money :)

    In short there all good, its just a budget/design choice with the Shoei

    The other good bit I find with mine (old one may be same)
    It's the only one I have had where I don't have too lift my visor at lights etc as it just doesn't mist up

    Got 5 agv's 3 titech limited edition rossi reps and 2gp tech limited edition rossi reps.
    Got to say I think the titech is a better helmet

    I had narrowed it down to buying 1 of 3 helmets (2 of which were Shoei), but after seeing the HJC Ben Spies rep at the NEC this weekend i couldnt resist such a good price, so here is my new vs old helmet.
    The old one will now spend its life in the loft unless i find a use for it.
