I have a friend contemplating the purchase of a YAMAHA XJ700X, aka, "MAXIM-X" and wants some feedback. He is mainly concerned with the confortablility as he is a tall dude (6'1") and the X's seat and peg arrangement feel cramped. How about drivability, performance? Any quirkyness? Reply to me or net and I will forward comments to him. Daniel M.

The consensus is that the IBM "System" helmet with the pivoting chin section is the answer although it is a little pricey ($175).
