    $3000 bike with TONS of character wanted!

    My 2 cents worth......went from a 1200cc bike to a 750cc a long time ago and regretted it very much, sold the 750 after a few months and back into a 1200cc. It may have been as much ego as missing the performance...hard to go backwards....just my experience

    Sport Touring Tire Showdown - Poll

    Helmets with built in sun visor?

    I have a Scorpion EXO 1000 and find that the built in visor is nowhere as effective as a good pair of sunglasses in bright sunshine. I inquired about a darker tint however not available. Not having to change visors is very handy however.

    Scorpian EXO-1000 opinions?

    Have had an 1000 for 2 seasons, my opinion heavy,noisy, poor ventilation and riding in heavy rain results in water running on the inside of the visor resulting in a real safety issue. Was much happier with my old HJC for less than half the money
