Now,
I have had two pair on the old YZF 750, I find them really good.
Put it like this, Footpeg and exhaust have been scraped, not due to shagged shock as I have the front tyre to the edge.
I have had an off due to losing the front but that was my fault.
The M1's are a decent set of tyres.
I get @ 2-3000 for the rear, double for the front.
It all depends how you drive, I look at it like this, If I can get the pegs and exhaust scrapping on the old YZF whilst hanging off for extra clearance,why pay more for a stickier set of tyes. I can keep up with newer bikes, overtake on corners, (yes, I shouldn't but its fun, and because I can.) M1's they do me.
Hope this helps.
I have Michelin Pilot Sport on my Ducati 996 I find these cheap and cheerful. They have plenty of grip as well.
Up to you mate.
