Shoei RF-1100: radical shape, visor mechanism

We really dig the elongated shape of the new Shoei RF-1100. The four vents/spoilers mounted on the rear give the profile a forward thrust that was absent from the boring old RF-1000. Called the Shoei XR-1100 in Europe, it goes on sale there in September; we’re guessing that US sales will commence soon thereafter. That’s only a guess however, as no one at Shoei will respond to our emails.
