what did you do with your fazer today ?

Tootled into Leeds and bought a Caberg Duke - wanted a reasonably priced flip front and this fitted the bill.


First impressions.


Yesterday - sunny and warm coming out of Leeds - what a revelation, great with flip raised and internal visor down (only slight issue when fully down the internal visor touches my nose - put me off initially in the shop but I decided to give it a try anyway).  Looked at some others but didn't want to spend £200-£300 and Duke seems to get good reviews (and comes with pinlock in box).  Fit is a little tight at the front - when flip down my chin can touch the front - have this with my Shoei XR-1100 also.  Other than that fit is great, very comfortable, not over keen on the neck fastener, would prefer D ring but guess will get used to it - certainly a cinch to remove.  Road with flip up to ca. 70 but <50 is probably limit.  Bonus with flip up is increased peripheral vision - good in the traffic.


Today: chilly (ish) ride into work - only very slight misting (nose) but less that the Shoei and despite the Shoei having neck and chin shroud the Duke was noticeably warmer.


Noise?  A little early to tell, a little more wind noise evident but overall I'd say actually quieter than the Shoei - with earplug in can't hear conversation but this is likely down to the padding being close to the ears (not any less comfortable).


Early days but for £145 seems like a good un!
