Arai but just received this yesterday. Take a closer look of the awesome chrome finished

I'm looking for a new helmet to replace my old AGV K3. I've been eyeing an Arai Quantum J sized M, S feels a bit too tight while M feels snug, (in some part of the world I believe it is called Quantum 2), Schuberth C3 Pro sized M and Shoei GT-Air sized M (as S is waaaaaaaaayyyy too tight).

So I tested all helmets, it fits snug. But when I sit on the motorcycle 3/4 position or just simply lift my head up high, both helmets kinda touched the back of my neck and creates a slight pressure on my forehead. But not when I'm standing/sitting straight. This does not happen with my K3.

So, my questions:
1. Is it the way I wore the helmets?
2. Or the helmets I chose were not suited to my head shape?
3. Or those helmets are not meant for my riding position?
4. Or perfectly normal before the helmet/neck roll breaks in?
5. I tried Arai Quantum J and Arai RX7-RR5 both sized M. Why does the Quantum J feels snug but the RX7-RR5 feels a bit loose?
Shoei GT-Air S vs M: Why S is too tight when they size 55-56 for S? I should use an S, right?

Bit of info:
1. I ride a 2014 Ninja 250 (300 in some part of the world).
2. My head circumference is 55.5 cm and an intermediate oval (I think).
3. When I bought the AGV K3, I was a complete newbie, and I believe I had bought the wrong size where I should've bought S instead of M. And I have swapped out the cheek pads from M to S (it feels much snuggier) and added a thin foam pad to the helmet liner.

Fuuuu... power!!

Guys, I got a question regarding helmet fitting. I've posted this on reddit.

I believe there’s nothing wrong with the helmet. Probably the problem is your riding position or the way you wore the helmet.
Get your eyes look more up ‘higher’ instead of lifting up your head.
My xlite 802R seems ‘shorter’ at chin area and the helmet giving more upward view (but little narrow view area compared to Corsa). Try the 802R if it could help more. Corsa also is with high visibility btw

Fuuuu... power!!

Intermot 2016 is starting from tomorrow. Likely can see the most talked about 2017 CBR1000RR. Also here the new Ducati SuperSports

Most likely it doesn't fit your head shape. If I'm not wrong, Arai and Shoei make helmets to fit multiple types of heads. Might be worthwhile trying yet even more? :/

I think helmets should be comfortable with your head in any position. This might seem...trivial but there might be times where you need to lift your head upwards e.g. when down on the ground pumping your tyres lol.

Looks like a Japanese bike :/ that rear cylinder kinda looks like it could really heat up your inner leg as well.

kek. why not fully red? the black bottom fairing spoils it. 

the white looks gorgeous though. 

Guys how different is it to install a windscreen on naked bike ar
