That's a good deal. :fing02: I have a set on now, they only have 700 miles on them, so far the are fine. Hoping to get 6000 miles on them. Got them strictly for commuting!
Put them on the RWB for my dad. Didn't have any complaints about them.

That's a good deal. I have a set on my 4th gen now but the next set wont be these. The roads are cold up here in Canada in the spring and fall and I can't seem to get these to stick when I get a little frisky. The front slid on me twice last fall, I was very lucky. PP next for me.
I was happy with the Conti SportAttack front and RoadAttack rear, but the rear wouldn't hold at the track very well. Go figure, it 's a touring type tire. I'm sure the Conti Motions would be that way or worse in the twisties. Good idea for a cheap communter tire though...
I've had a few customers get horrible mileage life from the Motion. My guess is the light carcass - I know the front is single ply, not sure about rear. Lightweight bikes that are ridden solo, maybe no worries. I ride the VFR with wifey on board, plus it's my daily driver.... BT-023s, please!

PP's or PRoads for me.

AMEN!!! Not to mention but I will anyways ;-) if you look around you can get a set of PR2's for a lil bit more $$$. Sometimes you get what you pay for......like that wal-mart battery that lasted me several months ugh!!!

Yeah, been thru the cheapo battery thing. Now it's YUASA for me. To hell with those cheap AutoZoneAdvanceAutoPepBoyzzz batteries.
As for tires, it's PRoads for the VFR (I'll never overpower them and they're good for two-up riding) and PPs for the RC, mainly for the quicker turning, not so much for the leaned-over traction they have vs. the Roads or Road 2s. I ain't fast enough to use everything a PP or a PRoad can offer me, but it's nice to know it's there if and when I (and
YOU) absolutely need it.
No cheap tires, no cheap batteries, no cheap chains (and sprockets).
