I bought one of these very cool helmets a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents about it.

To put it plainly, I love it. The versatility, fit, feel, and functionality are all top notch. The removable chin gaurd has been upgraded on this newer model providing more room and steel parts. Very easy to use. The field of view is incredible. It practically feels like you're not wearing a helmet with how wide open to the sides and up and down it is. This comes in handy with the instruments being on the tank dash as you don't have to move your head down. The helmet is extremely light and low profile so it not a huge mushroom...I hate that. It has cut outs in the ears for speakers and many systems can work with it. I use the Scala Rider Cardo unit and have no issues with installation or fit on the helmet. The microphone has plenty of room with or without the chin gaurd and has no wind noise underneath. The speakers can't be felt at all in the helmet.
I got it for a steal at revzilla at about 100 dollars under retail. My neighborhood stores could do 359 and revzilla is 266. No hassles and free exchange and all that jazz.
The only non-perfect items are that the venting could be a little better and the drop down visor does not do a great job with dimming the sun. In fact, it almost becomes blinding in direct sun and I find myself reaching for my normal shades. I'll look into or work on that to see if there is a better solution.
So I give it a thumbs up and a 9.5 outta 10.
 
I like the Nolan helmets and have two different models now. They're made well but can be a bit noisy. I use earplugs all the time so that's not an issue.

Thanks for the thorough review...this may be my next helmet.
