In consideration for all those out there with GL 1800 Goldwings. These tires border on unsafe. There are Two members in our GWRRA Chapter who have run these tires. Letters are being sent to Cont. Tire. Forget about miliage, that's not even a concern. As one review said, get rid of tires before the tires get rid of you. I would give this no stars if I could. Tires have a counter steer action. Please take concern. Dunlops Bridgestones, Avons, I have run and although could critize any tire they are much safer and will keep you alive

Some know me, some do not. I have close to 300,000 miles since Feb of 2007 alone. I have a fully Traxxionized 2007 GL1800 in addition to 7 other actively used bikes. I am a Riding Consultant who regularly performs demonstrations and seminars as well as testing products for the motorcycling community.

Here are my initial thoughts as a end user who has not yet contacted Continental.

I have run Avons, Bridgestones, Metzlers, Dunlops, and now the Continentals.

By far, without question, the WORST noise and vibration from the very start, and it's getting worse.

Temperatures seem to be just a tad cooler than the Metzlers.

Traction in dry conditions seem to be right on point with my preferred tires.

I will post an update if anything changes but I want these tires off my bike as soon as possible.

I put a Conti Motion on the front of 2001 Goldwing. Prior to mounting it I noticed that the tread depth appeared to be exceptionally shallow. I have 9000 miles on it now and it is worn out. I usually get 14,000 - 15,000 miles on a front. While I had no issues with traction (I'm a fairly sedate rider) or handling, I am VERY disappointed with the short tire life. This tire is NOT a good value!

1,200 miles on new Conti's. Exactly as advertised, quick warmup, quick fall-in gives me the fast handling that I need as a commuter with a 2001 GoldWing.

Haven't needed to ride in heavy rains yet, but grip is still better than the OEM Dunlops which were always treacherous when wet.

Will be riding in 3" of rain tomorrow. I'll do another review afterwards.

I ride a lot of freeway here in LA commuting 100 miles a day. Like others, there were no reviews when I purchased these Conti's from WingStuff. From day one these tires have felt too quick on the steering...much like the center of gravity moved up in the bike. They exibit more road noise than I expected and now with 4K on them, the front is developing several swells in the tread area making an odd rythmic noise. One thing I must point out. These tires do not like painted lines, bot's dot's or water. All said, I am retiring these before they retire me. I do use a tire monitoring system so these were always kept at correct pressures. I am going back to the Avons. So far they have been the best on my '06 Goldwing.
