I have an M5X carbon (matt with Orange stripe) for purely aesthetic reasons on the Buells. It looks cool and is very light, but as a helmet is is nowhere near as good as my Shoei........it's drafty and louder, it does't have a pinlock insert available, the visor needs tools to change it (though mine...
