That being said, I find myself wearing my good old HJC CL-12 the most. It has the widest viewport of my helmets and its by far the most quiet. Its the only helmet I don't have to wear earplugs in. Its also the heaviest so I may pick up a newer full faced HJC just for that reason.
LOL!!!! The CL-12 was the helmet I replaced with the Scorpion!! I wore it for 10+ years and certainly got my money's worth out of it
I think the high-end (1000) Scorpion is built better and it certainly has a lot of super features (like the internal sun visor). The HJC CL-12 had non-removable padding, which was a real drag, yet the fit of the CL-12 was much better. But the Scorpion also has things that annoy the crap out of me- like the fact that I can't crack the visor without using that silly thing on the side. Or the internal visor not coming down far enough (and what is with that unnecessary nose cutout?) Or those strange vents on the top that seem to always close on their own.
No helmet is perfect... that is for sure.
