I've got conti attaks on my zr7 and i love em.very good in wet or dry.

read somewhere that tomohawks are better than people give credit for.
said they were pretty good as a general use commuter stylee tyre.
Dont know if i'd like to give it some beens with em fitted though.
didnt they do those wierd coloured ones?

yeah i know what ya mean i had a mate who loved them and he had an r1 preferred them over other stuff and he was no slouch either i was running 010 at the same time and we used to have to good laughs.
stu tried them on his duke and never got on with them supposedly they can take a little while to bed in coz of how they are made but i have had two mates on em one loved em and the other didn't
hope this helps
