Looking to replace my rf-1200; can anyone tell the differences between the rf-1400 & gt-air-2? I like the idea of the sunshade, but don't want to lose snell...
I upgraded from a 1200 to 1400 on this sale and had the same reservations. I usually ride only during the day and when I know I'm out past sunset I'll bring a clear visor in my back pack. I went with the 1400

I have a GT Air 2 but have not tried the RF1200 or 1400. GTA2 is supposed to be best for fairing / screen less / naked bikes with a clean stream of air coming straight at the helmet. Its comfortable and not too loud. There is a weird whistling when the visor is open however. The deal breaker is that rather than the d-ring there is a rachet chin strap that is an absolute trachea crusher. I would order both and keep the one you're more comfortable with.
Correct. That's the only thing keeping me from jumping on this. I have a $200 Transitions visor on my 1200 and it's not compatible with the 1400 .
Well that and the fact that I actually want the Shoei RF-1400 Prologue Helmet and it's not on sale
Exact same for me, plus the pinlock. Sucks because the pinlock isn't even available for the RF-1400 anywhere, so I feel that there's no point of getting it now, even though my RF-1200 is kind of old at this point. I was able to find a photochromic visor on Amazon, but I'd rather order it from Revzilla. I guess I'll wait until supply gets better.
I was thinking of getting the transition… how dark does it get? Like dark smoke level?
I'd say around that dark, yeah. I've been riding with the photochromic visor on my RF-1200 for years now, and it's amazing. Still holds up well. Well worth the money IMO. I used to have a dark smoke and it was too dark at night.

I believe you do get a pin lock included in the box with this helmet
"Pair it with the included, 10% wider Pinlock EVO to eliminate fog while also dismissing any woes for lateral visibility.
"Includes Pinlock EVO pins and lens insert"
It's right there in the description.
Happy riding!
I know, that was pretty dumb of me. I could've sworn I read it before and it said that it wasn't included. But what does suck is that there are no photochromic visors available. I put my email on the Revzilla waiting list but we'll see if that ever works out. There are some on Amazon, but they're paid shipping, so eh.

I can't ride without phiotochromatic after having it for 5-6 years. hands down the bees knees
