those Contis, look like they are wearing well, The PR5s i had on had a very regular wear pattern and the front was wearing quicker that the rear.
Back to the brakes, having just got a 1250 last month, i have to agree the brakes are superb. I did a 300 miler last weekend around Wales,On some tight corners I found the brakes were slowing the bike quicker than anticipated, Superb Bite. One of my worries when purchasing the 1250 was these Hayes Brakes compared to the Mighty Brembos, but they was no need at all.
