Does anyone here know how well the color of the new VFR800 matches a current gloss red Shoei RF1200 helmet? Any other good matches?

Not sure about the Shoei RF1200, but I bought the Shoei GT-Air. The red is not exactly the same, but close enough for me :)

If you don't know of them, Revzilla.com, they have a complete in stock selection in new jersey (website) and very generous free shipping. Like if you order two or a few more things to compare they give free ship out and then free ship back as long as you buy one of them. 

Might be a good way to see first hand different helmets and they have pretty good prices too. 

Also saw a video of Roland Brown review of 8th gen and he is wearing a red Shark helmet that seemed on my screen to be a good match. Maybe another option.

To get the free ship both ways option its best in my experience to call and speak to them on phone to discuss and order, then call for return authorization and free ship back. I've done this with pants, gloves, and helmets as well as boots.

I've bought many things from Revzilla.  Still prefer to hear something first-hand.  It's not like Shoei sells so many shades of red for the RF1200...

The red on my Qwest is a pretty good match. Fantastic helmet too, brilliant visor and ventilation, if it had a sun visor it would be absolutely perfect.

Got a white Shoei NXR and a white VFR. Perfect match.
