I have one. They are sold here in Canada. I really like it. It's quiet, has decent venting, and it fits me like no other helmet I have owned. They aren't cheap, but I'm glad I bought mine. My wife has a Schuberth C3 in the same size, and I have ridden with her helmet as well. It doesn't fit me quite as well, which probably accounts for the fact that I notice a bit more noise with her helmet. They're both very good though. I was told that Schuberth manufactures the System 6 helmet for BMW using BMW's design specification. They seem very similar in nature, with subtle differences in the venting, the aerodynamic bar on the top, and the chinbar which seems to be less prominent when fully open. I think that at the top of it's range, it nestles closer to the helmet. However, if I didn't have a System 6, I think I would buy a Schuberth.
I hope this helps.

thanks Jack,
are they legal in Canada then? do you know if they'll sell them to us here in the states? If you know a good source, do share.

There will not be one with a DOT sticker ... I wouldn't consider an American motorcycle superior to a German motorcycle--why, then, would I consider American safety regs superior or even care?
thanks gentleman... I'll keep digging into it, or maybe break down and get the C3 even though I'm worried about the things I'm reading with regards to fit and comfort.

Best I can tell, there is NO required test (DOT, Snell, etc.) for a helmet to be legal, but I stand to be corrected. That is probably the reason you can buy a BMW helmet in Canada but not the US.

Are you saying, that in order to sell a helmet in the U.S., it has to be DOT or Snell tested?
