    I just picked up my xspirit2 finally took the plunge and for the price I got it for I'd have been rude not to. [​IMG] so light and comfy I'm shocked I never went the shoei route earlier.

    X Spirit 2...mmmm.

    Dunlop
    Márquez
    McGuinness

    So that makes it every solo winner at the TT wore an X Spirit 2. Apart from Hillier. Oh whatever.
    By the Power of Greyskull I am a marketer's dream. Sad.

    I got it from Daytona motorcycles in ruislip, it retails everywhere at £639 that's the cheapest I've seen it. I picked it up with the visor for £490 happy days. Ill look forward to my morning ride tomorrow with it.

    I bought the first version..............and I'm still using it. The only fault I can really complain about (it's a Shoei thing) is over time the pads tend to bed in requiring new ones...and they int cheap!.Had mine for over 3 years now and would buy another

    All the lids I've had before I've had to replace the pads so I'm used to that.

    Very nice - I've got an XSpirit 1 and whilst I'd love another, I don't think my pockets will go that deep when I come to replace my lid.

    I really wanted to like the GT Air, but I tried one on yesterday and it seems that Shoei are just not made for my head. Also tried XR1100 - same story.
