I like them a lot, back tyre needs replacement and it will be a conti road attack again.

Sport attacks have a bit softer compound compared to the road attacks, my back tyre is now worn after +/- 10000km.

Days don't do it I had a road attack rear on my VTR and got less km's out of it than the pilot power I had on previously.Not just that the tyre went off at about 80% worn and had much less grip than it should have.I won't be having another one thats for sure.
