Anybody on Conti Motions?

Make sure you keep us posted, eh?

Road Attacks 2 evo's have been fitted. Balanced up both with no weights. Good start.

Cool. Bloody wheel weights messing up the looks. I paint mine black to stealth them ....... I know. Issues ..... stressful job and all that.


Contis have that cool pre-scuffed tyre surface. Heat and enjoy.

Holy thread drift batman! Just want to say that I spooned on a set of the new Bridgestone S21s on to my GSXR 600 about 1800kms ago. Very impressed. A real step up from my beloved S20s and quite different too. Sorry, as you were.......

Well just got back from an overnighter up Norf. I really like the Conti Road Attack 2 evo's. We did about 600ks over 2 days. Ive run them to the edges and they feel very planted.

Was a bit wet on the way home and they held well. I like em.

Mrs Berg has done over 100,000km on Road Attacks and swares by them in all weathers. I've done about 50,000km and also like them. Both our new bikes will be changed to them as soon as the current tyres have been destroyed.
Have talked daughter and son in law into trying them as well and both are very inpressed by the grip and the tyre life.
Had Motions on my old ER6 and, for a budget tyre, they did ok. On the bigger bikes I prefur the Road Attacks tho.

I went away from road attacks because they didn't stand up to my daily commute (too much motorway). They flat spotted quite early and then didn't want to corner. Otherwise I liked them a lot. I've done 13k on my first set of PR4s and they've only just started to Flatt spot.

I've just gone in for a new rear PR4 - 10,000 ks on the old one and it is buggered ... buit hey, 10,000ks is the most I've ever gotten out of a rear ..

I've been told that the casing isn't as strong as some and doesn't suit larger bikes, What's it on?

1250 Bandit - I've run PRs on it for a while - and this is my second rear PR4 ..

The casing is not the issue - the fact that the centre is almost flat all the way round is .. it was handling like a bucket of shit ...

If by larger bikes you mean leadwings and such like - then I don't have a clue .. just know I love the tyre (140klicks round the outside of a car in a corner in the pissing rain and it was like the bike was on rails ...)

You use the GT version heavier bikes like ST 1100/1300's and the like. It's all on their website. Tyres are always good for an argument but I've 3 sets of PR3's and 2 sets of PR4's on my last 2 bikes so am clearly happy with them for my type of riding. 15k from a rear on my Street Triple and yet to determine on my GSX-S1000. The only thing I'd comment on is that despite Michelin's claim of a 20% longer life for the PR4 over the PR3, they lasted an identical distance from my experience.

Interesting. This is the problem I had with the Road Attacks.

Possibly, just something I heard.

I can't do anything but totally agree with this. For me it was that tar bleed that sold me on their wet grip.

I've had the rear move on seal bleed a couple of times - but a lot less than on other tyres ... I run Road Attacks on my 650 Bandit ... they are a better tyre to chuck a bike around on (I think) but I cut out a rear in 3,000 klicks ... don't care it was fucking fun doing that ..

It's clicks and the term relates to speed not distance...

IE: ''140klicks round the outside of a car in a corner in the pissing rain''= correct. ''but I cut out a rear in 3,000 klicks''= incorrect.

Fucked if I would ever run a PR4.

Another decent run on the Conti's today down the Waikato and Highway 22. Great tyres. Turn well, nice and solid on the edges. Dont turn as fast as the race tyres I had on it before but turn well enough to be fun.
