Who here is running Continental sportattacks? I am looking into getting some for the gixxer. Are they any good?

Got a mate with a set on a much modded TLS and he is very happy with them.No doubt some with trendenitis will disagree but the guy can ride so will go with his opinion.

Where abouts are you?
Bugjuice had sport attacks on his 636, and was happy with them. Now he has ex race Race Attacks on, and he's in love.

Two Smoker has Race Attacks coming out his ears at good prices

I switched to Sport Attacks from Diablo Corsas. I have gone through a few sets now and not interested in changing back. On a dry road the Contis will let you lean until the cows come home. Not as good in the wet as the Pirellis but who rides hard in the wet? Oh, yeah, they cost less.

Yes.

I was using them up till I sold my 1000RR and had no intentions of going back to Corsa's. Awesome tyres.

Looks like I'll be getting the new tyres sooner than expected, had a puncture today.

I only have a Hornet and have just changed to Roadattacks, but I LOVE them, so far!!!

Bugger mate, 2ct's are expensive as well.

Well I find this interesting.

When we bought SDU's bike it had a Road Attack on the back and a Sport Attack on the front.
Now SDU did not like them much and hated them in the wet.
So last week I gave her my tires to use which she likes and so did I.

Now I have them on my bike and I must say I do not like them and can not wait to replace them.
Could be because they are a mix, but normally they feel fine.
But when I push a bit the front and back do not feel like they are doing different things.

Now I know some will say do not mix, but I have been doing this for years with most other tries with out a problem.
Softer on the front and slightly harder on the back so the back will go before the front.
In this case I would say do not mix these tires.

Have been told to only buy Sport Attack but they are still not the best tire in the wet.

Just my 2 cent's worth so don't shoot me.
