I am thinking of putting Continental road attack tires on my bike. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I put a road attack on the back of my 00 RT. I didn't really notice any loss of performance from the Z6. I can't say anything on longevity because I traded the bike on a R1200RT shortly after.

liked the Road Attack very much on my R11S. For the money however, i generally get the Diablo Strada, a very similar feeling tire with similar life span (about 7.5K on my bike). I prefer either to the Z6, but that's just me.
my next pair to go on will be a set of PilotRoad2s. i've heard so much good stuff about them, including from riders that i know and respect as asphalt burners, that i am interested in giving them a shot. Also curious about the RoadSmarts, but have heard little direct about them.

I've run them on a V-Strom and my '04 RT. I think they handle great and are very good in the rain. Haven't put enough miles on them to comment on wear though.

I put some on my RT last year and so far, I like them. I think I've got about 6k on them.

On my second set of Road Attacks on the RS. Very happy with them.
