Coming from nolan 804 rs carbon to hjc Rapha 72. Hjc fits my head well and i always use earplugs with filter, that said this new helmet is loud af. You can hear a whistle sound from 40km/h and above. Around 80km/h u can hear wind blowing from right side. In a tunnel it just intensifies every sound. Nolan is way better in sound isolation even though its a dedicated sports helmet.

I also noticed when i try to push a papir through closed visor, the papir goes through the seal very easily.

I thought sports touring would be better because of «touring». It this a common problem with Rapha variants? Can it be because of low weight that there is not enough material to buffer the sound? I use xs size Ill be returning mine..

What helmet would you recommend? Iknow not each helmet will fit my head. But out of your experience which helmet tend to be quiter?

For info: I ride F850gs, long windsheild

Edit: rapha 72 not 12

Yes there have been some but i want to compare cfmoto 800 to gs750/800/900(2019 to 22 models). I have had ninja 636, triumph 765 RS and looking to go for a touring bike.

So to people who own cfmoto and to people who own GS (and to who have ridden both). How would you describe your bike’s tech (cruise controll, grip, stability and road comfort? What are some real benifits and what are gimmicks? How is the respons on tft screen and mobile connectivity?

We get 5 years warranty on new CFmoto and have many dealers so parts should not be hard to come by(we get a rental if wait is too long). Idc about resale value, but i do care about selling it after 1.5/2years to get back to a supersport. In that sense i am leaning towards GS~easier to sell. Maybe in 2 years it will be easier to sell CFmoto aswell.

Price range is almost same for cfmoto and older GS’s models(some GS750/800 cheaper than CFM) i mentioned, differences will be warranty and how the bike actually is.
