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.

Tires have approx.2800 miles have vibrated from day one between 20 and 50 mph,it buzzes the floor boards,I think it still there above 50 mph but its not noticable...the rear tire is starting to cup on left side,frt has slight feathering on left....handleing is OK in the dry not so good in the wet,tread vibration is so bad I can trust them and I'm taking them off before something bad happens.They balanced fine very little weight and ride smooth but the run and sound like a 4 wheel drive tire and that vibration causes heat and we know what happens after that...These tires are DANGEROUS

In dry conditions these tires are awesome, very neutral feel in the turns. I have had two traction incidents with them in rain. One was on an interstate moving from one lane to another. The rear fishtailed a little then the front kicked out. Handle bars jerked back and forth but it stayed upright.

The next time driving on a four lane highway 50-55mph steady speed, no brake, no steering input,DRIVING IN a STRAIGHT LINE the front kicked out. The bike went down, no injuries, cosmetic damage only, ATGATT saved my hide sliding down the road.

I have only had these tires for 4000 miles, never had any traction issues wet or dry with Avons(2sets) or the oem d250.

So be careful with these.
