Handling

A lot of us started riding before handling was invented.

I have run standard tourances on my gsa for the nine years I've owned it, they are far from lead boots in my opinion,, great handling last well, I'm putting another set on in 2 weeks before I go up to the nordcapp and back down through Finland, I am confident they will also last long enough to do 5,000 miles in the 3 weeks we are away. Cheap to buy as well at less than 150 quid a pair.

Just quoting my experience. My brother has a virtually identical bike to mine. He's got Tourance (ordinary not Next) and they feel really slow compared to my bike with Trail Attacks.

I've used Bridgestone's and Maxxis versions of the Tourance - really NOT good. The Metzeler was far better. But the eye opener was going from Tourance to Cont TKC-70 which was very quick steering to the point of feeling knife edge until I adapted. Conti Trail Attack 2 is less extreme handling and better on tarmac. It feels much lighter steering that the Tourance on Bro's ride.

Have a look at this its a guy called Paul Young riding an old 1150 at the Isle of Man in 04 gives you an idea of how they handle, your bike is superior to the one beig ridden

That was rather good, cant say i was over impressed with the guy in front on that yamondazukikwakasfukasaki thrupny bit all over the white line each corner but he got his knee down but he had enough common dog to get out of the way.
