    Pretty much everyone I know that tried them quickly switched back to another tire

    Would like to know more as well, friend of mine is racing in South America and they just went to a spec tire....the Continentals. He asked me about them, I suggested to ask the beep.

    I ran them on my EX500/650R and then for a short while on my SV650. I tried them on my R6 at the time as well but didnt like them on the larger bike. They were great on smaller displacement bikes though. And at the time Conti paid contingency....it was a good year.

    I really liked them. I did a full season and won a couple novice races on them. They grip great....BUT you must be ON throttle to get the grip. I felt like they would slide/float mid corner unless you were on gas or at least + throttle of some sort. They did pay out really well and I enjoyed them. This was 2010 is so I have no idea on current line of tires.

    I ran them in 2010 on a triumph 675.
    Those tires did NOT like to be heated up on the warmers.
    Hotter they got the less grip I had.

    Sounds like the front sucked. Bridgestone R10's are like this (have to gas it or the front just slides).
