Anyone tried an Arai GP5-X

As the title, has anyone tried an Arai GP5-X?

I have a GP5-K for the car on track and love it and now my bike lid is getting tired I was thinking of the same line, but none of my mates have even tried one on.

My current RX-7RR is too noisy so want less vents and ideally a fatter chin piece and slimer visor, like a car lid.

Any opinions on them?

Cheers

I've bought one, but haven't used it on the bike yet, sorry. Thought it would be good for car track days & as a back up helmet for the bike. However I'm now swapping my blade in for a Speed Triple, this weekend, & intend to use the Arai rather than my Shoei X-spirit.

Let me know how you get on with it

Bike collection delayed until Tuesday

Wore it tonight for the first time on a bike. It's comfortable, I was expecting a bit of noise from the visor, but I was actually impressed! Got the visor locked down at one stage & it was difficult to release with a gloved hand, but other than that it was fine, didn't notice the extra weight over my Shoei X-spirit either.

Sounds good to me

The visor lock is tricky on my GP5K car lid too but I'm used to it now. You just have to be a bit brutal with it.

Just waiting for a price on the paint job now, then think I'll be getting one.

Cheers for the feedback
