I got the CP211 on mine, you will not get the same high initial cold bite as say a HH metallic pad, once warm though, they really bite hard. A lot easier on the rotor than a metallic also.

spot on about the organics,less initial bite and need a couple of stops to bite real hard but are much smoother and don,t feel like your grinding the disc away.

On a daily commuter in the traffic I got around 10,000klm out of the last set. Dunno what they were. Fitted by Dynoverks. Just the standard I assume.
PTR will be changing then today.
RE: Brake Pads - BUSGO - 23-04-2008
Longevity totally depends on your riding style.
If you brake hard into corners you may get 20,000 and if you ride smooth and use engine braking you may get 50,000 out of the OEM pads.
The rear pads wear a lot faster, I have found because I trail the brake into the twisties.
The OEM are fairly hard and if you use softer or sintered pads you will get less.
RE: Brake Pads - Louwai - 23-04-2008
Maybe I'm wrong then Busgo. Maybe mine were a lot older, cause I certainly don't ride hard.
I must admit I didn't actually check them when Dynoverks said they installed new ones.
And considering that he tried to tell me that I need new chain & sprokets only 5000klm after they'd been replaced........
who knows........
