Looking to upgrade to a shark helmet possibly the s700, speed r or even the Race r Pro:D , anyone own one of these models or know of a store in the Toronto area that has them in stock so I would be able to try some on? .. I know the speed r and s700 have the internal sun visor anyone currently ride with one whats your thoughts love or hate?.. I don't want to pull the plug and order one onlinevwithout trying one on first if anything I will have to wait until the motorcycle show and see if any of the dealers will have any.


off topic here is a cool commercial I came across online for Shark .

I'm really impressed with my Race-R Pro. I spent an hour trying to decide between it and a Corsair-V, I'm happy with my decision so far. I had to remove the chin curtain because it was keeping my hot exhaled air in the helmet making me overheat. It's extremely stable at high speeds and has great ventilation. The visor is absolutely remarkable and the easiest visor exchange system I've used or seen in any helmet. GP bikes has a few, I saw them there today but Yamaha dealers are suppose to carry Shark so if you don't want to drive to GP I'd try calling a few dealerships to see what they have in stock.

Sounds like a great helmet ,is the race r pro noisy? How much is GP selling them for?.. also did it come with the regular small breath guard and the extra big rubber breath guard? not everywhere really confirms if it is included .
 
The small breath guard and rubber insert are included. The helmet was very quiet with the foam that goes around the outside/bottom of the helmet but that's attached to the chin curtain so I've been riding without it (I wear earplugs) and it's slightly noisier than my RPS-10. With a spare visor (~$120) the helmet was just under $1000.
