I have had a set on for about the last 2,500k's. Conti raod attacks were on the bike when i bought it. The conti's where about 30% used but for the remainder of their life, the bike squiggled about when pushed. I got 7,000 k's out of them. The ST's have been absolutely great. Even 2up for a serious blast, they have not wondered off line unless i have hit a white line or reflector or surface blemish. The rear is starting to square off, but with a more tame approach to commuting, they should get 10,000k's. One up against an '05 R1 with a similarly weighted person aboard and 2CT's on, I have been able to hold my own to the point of seeing him leave black lines out of turns, but i am still there. The weight of the busa is a hinderance in tighter corners. Doen'st matter what rubber you have. But I am very happy with the grip offered at lean angles, and with the k's i believe I may get from them. Will see how they endure.
