The profile looks quite rounded compared to bt45s will this mean a slower transition but more
progressive turn in?
Its always the 11 and 1 o'clock shoulders that seem to get get most wear on mine.




 
Just the way I like them.  I had two BMW K1s at my disposal at one time (don't laugh) one with fairly triangular Pirelli radials and one with Metzelers of a much more rounded shape (ME1s?) Much preferred the Metzelers, although Pirelli own Metzeler.  You could specify either on a new one.
 
Hi,
I jused it on my RGS during my vacation trip in Slovenia at the back wheel. It?s fine and very good to handle. But my trip was with my wife and so I went slow. My be with two persons and some luggage it became a bit nervous at more than 140 km/h. I hadn?t have any rain during our trip (lucky) so I can not say anything about the wet performance. But after the 2600 Km it looks very good and round and my opinion is it?s a good alternative to the BT 45. I also went about 150 Km on graveled roads and although the profile is like a slick the performance was fine.
Conti offers the tyre in standard rubber and also a classic race version in 130/80- 18. I have the standard tyre.
Regards
Andre
 
This tire is developed for old racing motorcycles together with www.classicsuperbikes.de in the begining some 2-3 years ago BT012SS was bether tyre , since 1 year they claim Conti is bether than Bridgestone .
Majority of them is on Conti and are very happy with them .
www.bikeside.de won 4hr endurance race on them with his white Rau - Kawasaki 145hp engine .

Stil have 2 sets of BT012SS as spare becouse they are hard to get , Conti is easier to buy and are cheeper .
 
I run Contis on my Spondon and love them. Different tire I know but if these are even close they will be really nice. I'l have a go when I next need to replace a set of BT45s
