Continental Road Attack
https://www.motorbiketyres-sticky-stuff.co.uk/images/ContiRoadAttack.jpg
 Sports Touring
Puts 12% more rubber on the road than any competitors tyre due to Dynamic Footprint Technology.
Takes sport-touring bike cornering performance & safety to a higher level.
Sticky compound with 7mm deep tread gives supersports performance and sport-touring tread life.
A serious all year round tyre choice.
Optimised multiple curvature design (MCD) gives light, responsive steering and handling.
These cost me £180 fitted in 2006, so a fair big cheaper than most other big name tyres. This was in 120/60 and 160/60 sizes for my 400.
When I left the tyre place they made the bike feel like it wanted to fall into the corners a lot more, but this was purely because the tyre shop had over inflated them by about 5 psi in each tyre. I dropped them back down and normal handling was resumed.
They warm up very quickly and offered more grip than I needed at that time, although the edges did start to chew up after some roundabout sessions.
Had my first kneedown on these tyres with no wobbles or slides.
I highly recommend them as a good year round tyre, or for touring, although they maybe a bit out of their depth on a trackday in summer they should be ok in spring and autumn, just.
Verdict
Great year round commuting tyres or if you don't do any trackdays.

I don't do proof reading. 
C'mon everyone has tyres on their bikes, post your opinions.
