Review Summary:
i have arai and shoei helmets and after reading about the plastic shells being the best i got this one. it is great! it is light and looks good and fits great. the modular operation is smooth and comfortable. i hope i never need it, but it is reassuring to have one of the highest ranked in protection. nothing but dot approved for my melon!

HJC - CS-R1 Flare Helmet
I LOVE this helmet. I have it in silver, and the pattern strikes me as just girly enough without being one of those lame pink chick helmets. The fit is great, it looks awesome, and it's pretty quiet and well-ventilated. For the price, I'm quite pleased with it.
HJC CS-R1 Helmet

Summary: Bottom of the line HJC has nice graphics but mediocre venting, slightly strange internal shape, flimsy visor that fogs easily.

Is more better? Yes for horsepower; no for just about everything else.

Well, almost everything else...

HJC has been pumping out new helmet designs about as fast as TV execs come up with "reality" shows, but their strategy has finally got me stumped.
