I am a long term Shoei user just bcoz it fits me really well. RF1200 has exceptional ventilation while being quite. It fits very snug and secure. Highly recommended for street and track use. Thank you STG for shipping it in 2 days.

Shoei helmets seem to run consistently on size from model to model. They fit me like they are made for me.
What is can a person ask for in a helmet.

3. Rolls Royce of helmets!

the plush interiors of the RF-1200 is a welcoming factor. the quietness is amazing, the build quality is great! the helmet is light and very snug in its fit. it comes with the pin lock insert. i would recommend all riders to spend the extra bucks and get the RF-1200 for all the safety, features and riding posture adaptability. they come in a solids and graphics. i prefer the solid colours so i can customise with basic stickers and create my own unique looking helmet. i am one EXTREMELY HAPPY customer!!!

I've owned Shoei's for about two decades now since the 700-series. It's the one lid I've found thus far that fits my particular head-shape best.
Sure, I've heard folks go on and on about their Arai's and whatnot, but they don't fit me right. And SNUG FIT all the way around is more important than brand-name bragging.
I've had the RF1200 for a few hundred miles now, and am happy with it as well. Fairly quiet, seems lighter and more aerodynamic than my RF1100, vents easily actuated.
Happy... except for that pin-lock system, which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5.
I wish they had cheap visors with inner anti-fog coatings, like my Scorpion. It was the one redeeming factor on my Scorpion and the reason I kept it for 3 yrs, the anti-fog coating worked GREAT, even down to 35F!
Shoei's pin-lock anti-fog liner is an expensive system (visor+insert). The soft-ish inner layer scratches easily so great care must be taken when cleaning, and care taken not to get any water/cleaner in-between the layers. And install/removal is a seriously tricky chore; you think you're going to crack your visor!
Another note, while Shoei brags about their greater visibility, the pins for the pin-lock are in your peripheral vision as are the edges of that insert; can be distracting if the light hits it right.
If Shoei would finally go with a visor that has that anti-fog coating on the inside, I'd give it a 5-star+++. But that's my only gripe with the lid.

5. Can't go wrong here.

I have never been one for graphics. I just need a helmet. That being said, I have personally crash-tested two Shoeis, the first being a TZ-1 and the second being a RF-1100. Both times, the helmets were outstanding so why change from a sure thing. I picked up a new RF-1200 and the only change is that it is better. I have owned the RF-1000, moved to the 1100 and now onto the 1200. They just get better and better. The fit is spot-on, very little break in time, perfect air flow and noise reduction, HUGE field of vision and extremely light. Don't think too hard when buying a helmet, get one of these and get it from STG.

6. Awesome Helmet!

I love all different style of helmets and have been wanting to add a new one to my little collection. I have had friends own this helmet before and only talked positive about it so I figured Id give it a try. Man do I regret not getting this early. The helmet fits extremely well with very little wind noise. You can for sure feel the difference wearing this helmet compared to some of the more entry level brands/helmets. There hasn't been anything I can complain about towards this helmet. I would highly recommend this helmet. You can never go wrong with a Shoei or ordering through SportbikeTrackGear. Thanks guys!
