naked bike helmet??

[immigrant]

I just came back from a 400km ride to grab a quick coffee on my new FZ8. I wore a Bell RS1. The airflow was smooth, but it feels like the helmet wants to blow off my head, and i really have to fight to keep my head down. is there a helmet you guys can recommend that helps your neck stay in the neutral position

Check out the New Shark Speed-R. They say it's a naked bike helmet. I like the looks of it.

My Shoei RF1100 works well with my naked Street Triple but not so well with my S10. I use a Shoei Qwest for the S10.

Seems like i will have to try the RF1100. The new GT air looks nice too - but big bucks. $630 in Canada
The shark Speed R can only be bought through yamaha in Canada. Problem is if i get the size wrong it is a 15% restocking fee which is close to 70 bucks. My head falls between a small and medium so I will have to try on both

I did try my ICON Variant today after cbrunsw suggested the Arai XD3 and what a surprise - kept my head and neck neutral, did not have to fight to keep my head down, and no buffeting. Problem is when you turn your head - then the aerodynamics goes to shit

New Arai Defiant. Awesome helmet for upright and or naked bikes.

Can't beat my shoei neotech.

Worked well across all bikes.
Even on a nice wheelie, on the now sold cbr :'(
