I'll have some of the older Arai RX7RR4 and Corsair IV but I'll even say that the Arai Corsair V is overrated too. The main difference is that little spoiler bridging the two side vents on the V vs the IV and then tag on an extra $300-400 bucks! Please!!

The guys on webbike are not bias and are riders too.

I personally like the fit and feel of the Shoei X-11 but like the designs of the Arai lids. Shoei has small amounts of detail that Arais don't.

Example:
-Shoei uses alcantara in most of the inner liner where Arai will use it in the cheek pads and neck area.
-The Arai visor changing mechanism is different than Shoei b/c it sits behind side pods where Shoei visor covers the outside.
-The ventilation system is more noticable than the Arai
-The X-11 has a rear lip to stablize the head (OGK FF5 and Suomy now design it too). Arai now offers it with the GP5

Here is the Corsair V

I haven't raced for quite a while myself. 4 years at least.

I'm sure there are quite a few other racers on here. Biggie and OldSkool at least.

Right on. No specifics but how some pics!!

1- I wasn't really referring to his sexual orientation. He is quite an obnoxious prick. Brilliant moto racer, but as a Fav i'd pick Max Biaggi over him anyday of the week.

2- Pics... hmmm. Those would be lying around in boxes somewhere at home (hint, I've been living elsewhere for the last 5 years). If you'd spring me a ticket I'd be more than happy to get em and scan em for you

find an interesting quote:
"The technology was first used in the BMW 750 in the late 1980s as a performance enhancement for heel-and-toe race-style driving..."

Anyone can explain why the brake override system was originally for heel-and-toe, and how it actually helps heel-and-toe? Thanks
