I just ran one on my FJR to try it out, and it was OK, keeping mind the FJR is a bit lighter bike. I would say it is not as long wearing as say a Michelin PR2 or 4 if you're looking for long wear. It wore in the middle faster than I'd like and was to the cords with little warning in the last part of its life and I had plenty of tread left on the sides, as I had not seen my usual amount of twisties. It did grip well in all conditions. I've installed a PR4 to see how that goes.
