I use to run them on a Kawasaki Nomad I had before my EGC and liked them. Use to get 16K on the back and about 32K on the front riding double a lot. I benn running Michlen Comando on my Harley and only get about 12K on the back, been tempted to try them next set.

These tires were standard on my 06 Yamaha Roadstar. They handled well and I got 13K miles on rear (replaced due to getting a nail) with still about 4~5K mile of thread left and about a good 10~12k miles thread left in the front. Always kept them inflated to 38f 40r and rode two-up a lot. They were fairly inexpensive when I purchased them from motorcycle-superstore. to replace the rear.

I ran them on my Roadstar as well. Went through 3 fronts and 4 rears in 60,000km. The fronts were susceptible to cupping if you didn't keep an eye on the tire pressure. The folks on the Roadstar forum referred to them as "Slipstones", but I never had any issues with them .
