I had them on the rear of my GSX1200 Inazuma. Never gave me any problems. Didn't tend to push them. Got a good mileage out of them. For the price, seemed good. Would use again if I needed too.

Put a set on my DS1000 Multistrada and have had 2 sets on my Shiver.
I'm not a ten tenths racer and I do about 20,000kms per year. I do some gravel and Contimotions have a bit more tread on the front that most equivalent tyres.
I had to fit a Metzeler Z8 during my recent South island trip to replaced a holed tyre. The rear cost $450 fitted. A set of Contimotions cost me $300 fitted (on special). The Z8 will last longer, but I find it gives a harsher ride than the Contimotion .
Not sure how long they'd last on a big bike or if you take a pillion regularly.
There are better tyres, but I have yet to find a better tyre at a similar price.
Contimotions are often discounted, so pick the time you buy them.

maybe its a case of how bad can they be? or what you expect from them? I think for instance, if I had a second bike that is occasionally ridden I would be putting a tyre like this on it.

I have them on my V11. On my 3rd set now. Suit the bike quite well.
Sure they're no race tyre, tending to move around a bit if you push a little too hard but get good mileage.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a conti motion? Is it some sort of laxative?

Will be for the road wheels for my VTR1k. Im currently on Conti Race softs on it which wont last a tour I have in a couple of weeks.

Two brand new Pirelli GT Angels on da bandit and already they're impressing the hell outa me with thier stickability.
Had PR3's last shoeing, they were bloody good and did 20,000K's. Last 3-5 a bit hairy though, front went outa shape, but tread still there, just had to move about a bit to find it and get traction.'
Have sworn off conti's years ago.

Watching this thread.

In need of some new rubber soon too

Would the T30r's suit? They worked well on my Hornet (17,000kms)

A mate has an 03 VTR and has done over 90k with various tyres and thought the Motions worked well and would happily use again,
his usual choice are michys.

Conti Motions ?? I had one on the back of my big bandit - PASS. It let go too many times so I replaced it. I would never use one again and I would never recommend them ..

(Road Attacks, on the other hand ...)

Go with the Pilot Road 4s - awesome tyre ..

In what situations would it slip?

My wife has them on her Gladius. OK in the dry but absolutely horrible in the wet. She'll be replacing them before winter sets in.

I'd send you more towards their Road Attack's (2) if you can get a good price. On the sporty side of sport touring and stick very well. Only point I'd make is on a fatty like the Bandit the rear may square off early.

Or T30 Bridgestones.

Also seeing a lot of the Pireli Angels on bikes lately.

If I go down that track it will be sport attack 2s. Not heard much about the road attack.
