Yes without hesitation. When I bought the RA2s, They were a massive 60 quid cheaper than the pilot road 2. Also the motorrad tests swung it in that Ive gone on their results in the past and been very happy.
In that particular test, The michelin bettered the RA2 for out right grip, wet and dry. But over the entire run of tests, the RA2 won because its sum of its abilities were better. Things like being able to hold the bike at a banked angle, riding with a pillion, to the bike standing up in a corner when braking. Also they commented that the point in which the tires broke traction and the fact the michelin didnt let you know it was going to let go...where as the conti let you know it was getting to its point and started to slide.
The road attacks have a very different profile to the michelin. Think of a pirelli diablo corsa profile or an arrow pointing downwards. As you lean with the conti, you have something like 20% more rubber in contact with the road than the michelin.
The conti made the viffer change direction like a super sports bike. I loved how agile it mage the bike.
Also cost difference... Yes id happily buy the RA2 again. Also in the states the original RA has a big following on the vfrd forum.
The also have a good rep on the uk vfr forum...
