Dragon Tested, Dragon Approved...

I put some Continental Road Attack tires on my 2000 VFR some time back & promised a full road test. A couple of personal tragedies, my military duties and some other stuff that just makes life grand interferred with my report. I figured the best place to test them would be the Dragon, US Rt 129, Deal's Gap. I replaced Dunlop D204K's, which SUCK!!!

I have about 700 miles on them now & I can say that the Road Attack's are well worth the money (which is much less than the $$$ required to get Pilot Power's or Qualifier's) & I would recommend them 100%. Looking at the rear tire, you can tell that I had the bike at lean angle's in the neighborhood of 50 to 60 degrees. They stuck like glue & never gave me the slightest indication of slipping. The steering has improved greatly and the road feel & feedback are top notch. Turn-in is basically effortless and transitions from left to right are seamless. To put in in words, You never feel like you're rotating up and then passing over the hump and back the other way. If you're looking for a tire that sticks and will last longer than 2000 miles, look no farther. In fact, this should be the OEM on the VFR.

I can also recommend the following products without hesitation:
1. Condor Lift SC2000 Chock. Makes loading & transporting a bike a simple one man operation. If you ever put your bike in a trailer or truck, these things are worth their weight in gold.
2. Sidi Canyon Sympatex. These boots are freaking awesome. The took some time to break in but now they are super comfy and are exactly what I wanted, a boot that I could walk all day in when I'm not on the bike. The coldest it's been since I got them was 48 & my feet were never cold. It went up to the low 80's & my feet were never sweating. They are slightly pricey but you get what you pay for.

KC-10 FE out...

 

I am in need of getting new tires soon on my bike and I was already concidering the conti's, your report along with other peoples on a different thread make me almost 100% positive about getting these tires. Thank you for the report:biggrin: Also someday I would love to goto the dragon
