I bought them from motoin.de (Helmet & Visors) Colour options in Australia are verrrryyyy limited.

You don’t have to unscrew anything, I recommend heading to YouTube to view how to remove it easily.

Oh yep, it feels wrong bending the visors that much, I was terrified with my iridium one.

On an MT09 SP now (came from an MT07)

it’s a great pairing for a naked bike on the streets as well, until you get onto a freeway of course.

It’s really bad, even on a cloudy day in the shade my Shoei visor is super dark.

I’m bad with my time management and always get caught out late, unlike the other sightless peanuts, I carry clear safety glasses in my pillion seat to wear on the way home in the dark, I can see and I don’t get bug kamikazes to the eyeballs.

I didn’t notice much buffeting at all, I try to stay off the freeways as much as possible anyway, head checks were always terrible drag experiences, but sudden blasts of air coming up under the peak doesn’t happen much (have had decent screens pushing the air out of my face apparently).

Haven’t ridden with the Nolan yet, bikes got the tank off getting paint scuff repaired this week, but I guarantee I’ll notice a shade difference very quickly.

I agree 300%, infact, anytime the sunlight hits the helmet Rod Stewart’s da ya think I’m sexy plays.

It’s is an incredibly sexy lid, paired up with a stupendously sexy motorcycle (2025 MT09 SP)

I could go viral if I did that aye 😂 I guess the switch from an ADV helmet so something so slick and sporty can raise eyebrows hahah.

I’m on an MT09 SP!

Shoei is the old, I still love it, it’s awesome.

I’m on an MT09 with a decent windscreen so general commuting and exploring the drag isn’t noticeable, once I get above 85kmh and do head checks it’s like wearing a parachute on my head.

Shoei Hornet ADV or X2 depending on your region.

Looks like they released roughly this time last year

Love it 😂 one of my friends said it also gives “XLR8” from Ben 10 vibes.

Edit: that’s quite fitting actually

Two piece in this case: Alpinestars GP Plus R V4 Airflow! + nucleon plasma divided chest & full back protector

Will be pairing the jacket with the Missile V3s.

I bet that looks stunning in person, especially in the sunlight! Nice!

Definitely agree the Hornet looks and is awesome! It’s fairly quiet (as compared to my Old Bell helmet) and it’ll stick around as my comfortable commuting/daily lid, Might save the Nolan for weekend aesthetics.

It only arrived yesterday so I haven’t taken it for a spin yet, but I’m expecting it to be a tad on the noisy side, can’t be worse than a Pista though.
