System 4 Vs System 5?

[DCoplin]

Need to upgrade my old System 4, should I go for a System 5 or seek out a deal on the old System 4's before they dissapear?

I guess, ignoring the price, any views on which is the better helmet?

The S5's a lot more comfortable than the S4 and has better upper ventilation. Not sure that it is much quieter though inspite of BMWs claims.

System 5 much lighter and more comfortable IMO. Also quiter and more space to fit autocom headsets, etc. Price difference is not that great, £50-75ish, so worth the extra to get a system 5

My only critisism is the crap colours a 5 comes in.

Bit of the point, but on the subject of colour why don't BMW sell white helments in UK as they do in Europe. Local dealer suggested because coppers use them but that is bull.. rant over going to get some sun now

another great advantage is that you can open and close it with one hand as you ride. Closing a system 4 helmet when riding is a bit of a problem as you really need to push the locking pins firmly into position with your hand.

Coopers in Reading have been known to give 20% discount on new System 5's.
