This is just a short review and overall happiness thread for Continental.
Dad (Triumph RS 955i) and I (4th Gen VFR) both were running ContiSportAttack 2 fronts with ContiRoadAttack 2 rears. Our fronts were part of the recall, so just this week we both received new fronts for free. Great service from Continental. From new both our fronts had trouble maintaining pressure, but then settled after a month or so. Dad said his front was a bit squirmier than usual and would understeer at times compared to the previous set. Mine felt ok, but now and then it felt squirmy. Adjusted pressures to 35-36psi front and it was better. Ran 39-40psi in the rear and that was great.
Since both our rear tyres were squaring off and about 2 years old, it was time for new rears. Dad's rear had done around 11,000Km and still was well and truly rideable. My rear had done maybe 8,000Km and was still rideable. Unfortunately we hadn't been hitting the bends as much as usual, lots of straighter roads in our area and it just wasn't a year for scratchin'.
So we got the new tyres last week. This Sunday gone we went for a ~200Km round trip and we are both happy. Interestingly we both felt the same thing - nice smooth turn-in, albeit a little heavier steering BUT not bad heavy. I felt the same on dad's Trumpy when we swapped. It is the kind of solid heaviness that gives heaps of feel. Will see how they feel after a while. I am sure they will be fine. Warm up is awesome with these things, even on first ride out of my suburb I had no feeling of new-tyre slipping. 15 minutes up the road and they were sticking nice.
The Trumpy runs a 180/55 rear against my 170/60, but both run the 120/70 front. I still laugh when swapping bikes. Even though their stats are similar, and the Trumpy is about 12Kg lighter than the VFR, they feel so different. The VFR doesn't feel heavier than the Trumpy.
All that said, I reckon Continentals are a great match for both bike. Great profile for smooth transition to lean.
