So... anyone got a Diversion, Daytona or Cobra? Any good?

Friend of mine has a diversion, he likes it but one major complaint from him is the seal around the visor. Its made from leather on the top and suede on the bottom (of the apperture) and when it rains it becomes ineffective and pisses in water. So buy one and ride in the sun

A mate of mine had one too.
An 010, dunno if Diversion or Daytona.
He found the paint was quite brittle and chipped easily. Also the small vent on top was always cracking around the small crews and falling off. It was always replaced on warranty though. Also it doesn't have a quick change visor.

I have a brand new matt black with white stripe one I bought on ebay hanging on my wall. Same indicated size as my Craft but it wont even go past my ears.

Looks nice though

Got a Schuberth R1 few weeks back and did a trip to isle of Man with it 700miles good lid acceptable noise, comfy for all day wear and the sun visor thingy is great. Have tried Arai, Shoei, Shark in the past and this one is better than then all.

I have a diverion ro10. Is this what you are talking about

Great lid that suits my shape of head. minimal wind noise compared to shoei or arai, virtualy impossible to mist up because it is so tight in there. The visors cost £50 to replace

and they are not a qucik change system. I like it but it all comes down to personal preferance at the end of the day

Ditto. I've got exactly the same one as Paddy and would agree with all he said.

I squeezed a foggy mask thing in, but I have to be careful not to smother myself with it! Not sure it really needs it; the std clear visor has an anti-mist coating and never gave me a problem, but I was used to using one from my previous lid.

If it fits your head I would definitely recommend one.
