Yes - I have found that, which is why I don't run them on the small Bandit ... that's the bike I like to play on ..

Hmmm . the bikes turns slower than a sports tyre - I really noticed this on the big Bandit following an R1 and not being able to corner as fast as him. The profile on the R1 tyre was different to the PR4, allowing the R1 to tip in much quicker ... I had Conti Road Attacks on the big Bandit and it did turn in much quicker on those tyres, but I didn't like them for the kind of riding I do on that bike so I went back to the PRs ..
