I can't fathom how some of you are getting the types of milage out of your tires. Do you guys RIDE the bike? or just putter along at 50 mph all day, rarely leaning past 10 degrees?
I just got back from a 6000 mile west coast trip spending most of the trip riding the twisties from San Francisco northward. Brand new BT20 'Stones when I started...Front is badly worn on the sides and the rear is shot. The hours of 100mph cruising the High Line in MT and ND probably didn't help, but 15000 miles? Come on!
Never got more than 8000 in the best of conditions on any bike I own. Guess the phrase "YMMV" is very true!
