Absolutely dependent on it now. In that time i only have discovered blurring of the rear view image when in high speed. I am taking about 200 km/h. On the german autobahn of course. That is because there is a overall vibration/ air pressure problem in high speeds. Together with the zumo 550 GPS, Scala headset and iphone, i have found that it is an exellent combination on those long drives. I am ordering my new reevu, because i like the matt black, and want one of them as well :-) Reevu is also exellent regarding to sound etc.. all parts are on the inside of the visir, and i dont need earplugs in the reevu, another good argumet :-) I have been using this helmet since spring of 2006.

Warning, best price I've found so far is $612.00 (but at least that includes shipping charges.) Search for UK helmet shops on the internet.

The mirrors on most sport bikes are very limited. This helmet fills those voids. It's true in an aggressive riding position, the angle nullifies the mirror. But for general street riding it's outstanding. There are some caveats; The helmet must fix snugly to align the mirror properly and the helmet from moving around. At night rear headlight glare can be an issue. Simply shifting the helmet slightly resolves this. Also in cold conditions (under 40 degree) the mirror can fog up. Still for most general riding I give this helmet 5 stars! I should also mention that on most of the uprights I've ridden, this helmet really isn't needed, as the mirrors generally provide full coverage to begin with. It carries the European ECE-ONU 22-05 certification, which many believe exceed U.S. DOT or Snell certifications. However, Reevu really needs to get U.S. certifications.

Basically, if you're looking straight forward, the rear view mirror is looking straight rearward. -todd If you’re wearing the helmet properly and not looking at your gauges then you won’t be getting an image of the sky regardless of how low your handlebars are.

I have a ZRX but with clipons instead of the standard handlebar it sits like a sport bike and I don't have any trouble with 'seeing sky'. I also don't have problem with headlights at night or sunsets. Light diminishes as it passes from one reflective surface to another. I've looked directly into that winter time, 6:00 piercing sunset and it's not a problem and I have seriously hypersensitive eyes. I ordered mine through a site in Singapore but they are no longer in operation. Wish they would get a US distributor. I have had mine since May of 06, absolutely love it.
