5300km~...I was just shopping for a new set, then on my next ride the rear gets a flat. Perfect timing. Wear bars fully out on the front.

Stock tires are fine until you encounter accumulation of water more than a few tear drops, temps less than 100 degrees and straight roads. Not that any of us like straight roads but they are SP's mortal enemy.

I survived a torrential downpour this weekend, but I was whipping around quite a bit and pretty puckered up.
And not helped with metal tramlines....

I ordered a set of Continental Road Attack 2's. Should be twice the life of the SC2 and far better wet performance when .... gets real. I did run Michelin DOTs and I don't recommend it, they're expensive, don't last as long and are more susceptible to punctures. Went back to SC2 for now... waiting for have COnti's for next change.
I had (and a few of my Clubhouse MTS buddies) these on my Multistrada and they were good road tires. My Tuono wears Conti Sport Attack tires which I like very much on dry roads. Both are quite comfortable.
Can't speak to the Road Attack 2's, but I ran a set of the 1st-gen Conti Road Attacks on one of my sportbikes a couple of years ago. Didn't have as much edge grip or feel as a pure sport tire, as expected, but they were fine for anything other than really committed scratching. But they were OK there too, as long as you adjusted your sights a bit. Sold the bike with them still in good shape, but doubt they'd have done double the mileage I'd been seeing from more sporting tires. 50-60% more, for sure; again as expected. Certainly a viable option for a lot of riders, particularly when the 200/55 hits the pipeline.

From what I gathered, the 2 are a huge improvement and I got the rear in the 200. They are OE on the rc8 and s1000.
Road Attacks? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those come with Sport Attacks, at least in some markets. Guess it varies; the last new BMW I saw had the same V2 Pirelli SP's on it as the Pani comes with, but maybe that's just the HP4 and not the regular S1K.

Maybe I got my words confused. But whatever their hypersport tire is.

I disagree. I live in Vancouver, it's ....... June 27th and it's still raining. I ride every day and I'm yet to have an issue with these tires. I've done actual rides on wet roads as well and didn't haven't an issue.

My only issues with the SuperCorsas are price and longevity... when I'm actually riding I have no issues whatsoever...

I found out to my suprise after I bought my first Ducati that I needed tire changes more often than oil changes
Buy the tires that let you ride your bike the way you enjoy it. Having to buy tires more often means that your riding skills are improving and you are having more fun on your bike

I think it's quite amusing when people use really sporty sticky tyres and then proceed to basically commute on them and rack up huge mileage while never actually availing of the advantages that they give.
But that's just me.
Buy the tyre that suits what you do.
I like the supercorsa sp - but I use it for fast spins and trackdays only. If I was spending lots of time at more normal speed or commuting I wouldn't put them on a bike
