Continental ContiMotion

Son has got these on his SV650s, and I now have them on my Kwak ZR7. They are at the less-pricey end of the tyre range, but they nonetheless do everything we want of them.

Grip is good, handling is good, turning and cornering is light and fast, and they are noticeably quiter than the Battlaxs that they have replaced.

Too early to comment on accurately on life/wear, but initial prognosis is favourable.

I dare say that if you're out on your R6 and detemined to touch the handlebars down you'll go for something sportier, but for everyday riding with a bit of exubarance thrown in here and there we reckon they're excellent.

I bought a set of these for my XR650L; have a little over 2500 miles on them and the rear tire is out of round. It is worn more on one half of the tire than the other! Edge of the tires seem to wear fine but half of the center of the tire wore down to bald while the other half is still 1/2 tread. I will never buy another Continental tire again! The tires did not wash out as bad as knobbies but still do not hold as well as I expected.

dont but these i have a fz1 2007 and this tyre split from left to right and started falling to bits

Bought a K4 GSXR 600 to do track days with and it came with slicks on it from the previous owner. I am not a fast rider and a novice at track days so I didn't want to use the slicks as I would not keep the heat in them.

I got a set of these Contimotions (180x55 rear & 120x70 front) and I have done my first track day on them. For a slowish rider on track, these rubbers are fine. They did not give me one issue in 5x20 min sessions with 40 min breaks in between each session. They were consistent and predictable and gave (me) a good feeling of what was going on.

The day was cold (15 degrees C) and it had rained in the morning. As the tires were new, I sat the first session out because the track was still a bit wet/damp. Another 40 minutes of cars running around, sun and breeze and the track was dry (yipeee).

By the days end the tires had those little balls all over (apart from the 5mm strip at each side that didn't touch the ground) with even ware and no visible deformations anywhere.

Started the day with 34 PSI rear & 30 PSI front (cold) and only adjusted for the last session (to be safe).

Haven't used these tires on the road but would have no hesitation in doing so or recommending these tires to anyone willing to try them. After my experience and reading other reviews, I think these Contimotion tires would suit most riders in most conditions.

It would only be those riders pushing a tires limits that would come unstuck and that would be on any rubber anyway because they would stop pushing otherwise.

Got these fitted to my zx10r 2005 good grip in the dry no chicken strips showing on the rear feels stable at speed (180mph) have done a 1000 miles so far plenty of tread remains have been in torrential rain and felt confident though give it a fistful and the rear will spin.

Overall a good tyre for the money

Amazed. I've had tyres that have been twice the price, haven't stuck so well and have lasted half as long. Even in the wet they inspire confidence.

Slapped them to my srad gsxr600 on a whim since I was impressed by my pushbike conti gator tyres n how they stuck in the rain.

Put 'em on your midweight sports! certainly

Put these tires on for a long trip.Went from northern In. to abilene Tx. then to greenville S.C. ran the mountains next to smokies ran the dragon with 150 lb pack. ran through heavy rain at 77 mph great traction I put 3,347 miles on trip front tire has no sign,s of wear rear tells me I will get at least 5,000 out of rear.I ride a 96 600 f3 with 100 rear wheel H.P. I will buy these tires again.

Came fitted new to the bike from a dealer probably due to the price. 2000 miles later and they have gripped in all UK weathers from a dreaful wet cold winter (2013) to scorchy hot summer as I commute all year round. A really good match for my SV650 and will be replacing like for like when they wear out but no signs of that yet so expecting +5000 miles from the rear.

I was another one a bit 50/50 at how cheap this tyre was at first, bit I've been gladly suprised!

I fitted the rear contimotion tyre after my PR3 wore out after 2.5k, the first 100 mile rideout on my tuned FZ1s, the top layer started to cut up a little, it didn't bother me too much, but quite a few people noticed and were shocked!

I would class myself as a fairly quick road rider, and as most, I like to corner quite hard. This tyre has put up with a lot of punishment, and in the 3k miles I've covered, I've only noticed the rear twitch twice! That's good odds if you ask me.

I've scraped the pegs in both sides, and there are no chicken strips left (this is a 190 sports/touring tyre!) Wet weather riding is stable and predictable, provoking wheelspin only once when cold, but if you ride hard in the rain your a loon anyway.

I'd recommend them, and I will buy a rear again now this one has almost worn out.
