        I run Continental(Conti) Road Attacks on my '93 Kat 600, the wife has Conti Motion's on her '04 Kat 600. Both are excellent tires. I can't HONESTLY tell you which one I like better, as these are two different machines. I -DO- know that the RA's are EXCELLENT in rain.

          I run Pirelli DiAblo's, this is for my Kat the best tire i have ever used to date. I run my Kat pretty hard at times. They stick like glue to the road, and i can corner like i am on rails. Does not mean i won't end up on the ground one of these days, but for now I am 100% satisfied with my Pirelli's.

            PR3s are good. I've got Pilot 2CTs right now. Diablos are good, Conti RAs are good, skip Cheng-Shin's products. If you're prepared to spend the money on PR3s then it's hard to go wrong. Pretty much anything in that price range will do well by you. The differences will be compromises between durability and traction. That's why I like the 2CTs.

                        Just got back from a trip with my '11 C14 and my stock bridgestones are toast at 6k miles, will be getting those pr3's next week.
                        There are some great videos of the Pr3's, one shows a test rider dragging his knees while riding in the wet!
                        The all weather claim has my interest as I don't just ride in rain; I'll also ride in sub freezing weather and I bet those sipes will help cold weather traction.
