These had to have been thee worse tires i have ever bought. I have an 03 Honda CBR954, it has been reduced to a commuter bike due to fuel prices, but still hit the local canyons when i can.
I dont know how anyone could get the mileage they are posting, the front is still good, wear is not the best, in the canyons, i didntpush it to hard just because i was leary of the title "sport touring", but they seemed to handle ok, but as far as mileage, less than a 1000 on the rear, and thats normal riding, no locking up the rear, no burning the tire at stop lights, just 120 miles a day to work and home, average speed 85.
i know have a rear tire with a nice mettalic strip down the middle, as far as a cheap replacement, fine, other than that, spend the extra money for good tires.

Dont let the sport/touring label fool you ..... ive been through 6 sets of these conti motions now and i ride hard and always in the twisties and these tires have never put a foot wrong. had em on my 919 hornet which suffers poor ground clearance but i was always grinding off my peg feelers and having to replace em.... on my SV1000 clearance is way better and within about 30 min of fitting new tires there is no chiken strips.
these tires far out perform there price tag and all but the quickest of road racers. I love them , and no i dont work for a shop or tire company, I simply call it like i see it . Bloody good tires.
