The Conti Road Attacks that come stock on this bike are so bad that someone who isn't aware of their low limits of adhesion and propensity to overheat easily could very easily get hurt or worse.
Be very careful with these tires as they are an incredibly poor choice on the part of BMW to release such a potent bike with such substandard tires.

I was blessed enough to get K3s on my '11

Yeah.. I thought they came with Metzeler Racetec K3's? I run those on my R1 and love them

True, but the S1000rr has SPORT Attacks, they wear like iron and are great in the rain.

News to me, K3's on mine.

I have the Contis on mine and like them so far.

1st off welcome

so i take it you crashed and your blaming it on the tire rather than your riding

and no a 1st post about tires will not get you banned .

Remus's factory R6 runs Contis on the track ( i don't know what compound ) and does pretty well...I didn't hear anything bad about Contis till now...Sorry to hear about your troubles OP

[Rarebird]

Take them off and get some of the Metzler K3s...the're the t*ts !

[RRrider]

can only agree. mine came with K3's. Loved them until the wet season. Switched to M5's which are good in the cold and wet and about 80% of the K3's in dry. Now that summer is coming, I'm switching back to K3's...getting them on tomorrow actually!
