My ZX10R has Continental Sport Attacks and they really stick, nice and progressive without the 'drop in' I had with the Supercorsa's.

The TL loves these tyres

I really like the Diablo Supercorsa's, I had Dragon Supercorsa Pro's and they're great too, you just might not get them anymore. I have 120/70 & 190/55 and just love them, I have a V twin also.

Like Bossman I too have Continental Sport Attacks and I have found them exceptional (used Dunlop, Metzler, Pirelli's).

Contis' have the most lean angle of any tyre on the market and Conti also promote that if you dont like the Conti tyres within the first week, they will replace them for a tyre of your choice! Not a bad promo.

Been running Diablos on my TLS awhile know with no complaints but have been hearing great things about the new contis so am going to try a set next.

Bridgestone BT002 Street.
Buy them. Now.

I have a 2nd hand pair of Continental Race attacks available if you'd like to try them out.

+1 on that comment, but i'm compereing them to Michelin Pilot Powers but I have'nt any problems with PP's either.
I will add, for on my part I have not yet had the chance to run the Contisport Attacks for long but I like them so far.

All the current sporty road tyres are pretty good, with the exception of anything from Bridgestone or Dunlop.

(I dunno about these BT002s Devil speaks of, but he likes Triumphs, so his judgment should obviously be considered suspect.)

I personally am a big advocate for Metzeler Sportec M3s, but each to their own.

Oh there's gonna be a stabbin.

BT002's are nothing like BT014's or BT015's which I dislike.
The 002's are an awesome tyre! Super sticky, stiff sidewall, hold their shape really well and have so far proved to provide acceptable wear, i'm on my second pair. Love them.

*googles BT002*

Oh, they're a race tyre. Well, duh. Race tyres are always awesome compared to street tyres. It's not really fair to compare BT002s to anything other than Racetecs, Power Races, RaceAttacks, etc.

What kinda mileage you getting on the Trumpy from them?

I'm glad you're not one of these men of dubious sanity who advocate BT014/5s. They're just not pleasant tyres to ride on. They feel like they don't grip.

In fact, the only guy I know on KB who likes BT014s is Enigma, and he only likes them because it's his cherished life-goal to be able to slide the rear end into corners, and proper sticky tyres make that difficult...

Ah there's two types of BT002's. The Street compound, and the race compounds (3 compounds, like a racetec).

I think i'm up to about 8,000 out of the bt002. In comparison, I got 10k out of a pilot power rear, and 13k out of an M3 (which I also rate highly).
