3000 is a good number. I've got as much as 7500, and as little as 2500, depending on how hard I rode. My Bridgestones have lasted much, much longer.

Tars you say... I got 6500 miles out of my first 207 rear and the front was about 2/3 worn. I've replaced both with BT010's. -ZXtra

My Rear Lasted 6 Weeks And had had less than 2000 miles on it. My front made it through the summer but had nothing left on it; looked almost like a slick, and I got almost 5000 miles on it.
Check the places like Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse (MAW) and StarCycle for prices, they're pretty good and will match prices. Competition Accessories is OH will ship and match prices if they have them in stock. Shop around, $350 a set is high for 207s and $220 sounds about right.

BT-010s RULE I got less than 2K out of the 5 (I'm a REAL slow learner) 207s I used this year. 'Course with all of the straight roads down here all of that mileage was in the center of the tire, HUGE chicken strips. Changed to the 010's about 1 month before the GAP2 and I have yet to change them. Stickier then hell too.

You girls must ride like a bunch old women. I only got 1,500 miles out of my stock tire. I have an Avon on now and got 700 miles on it and I doubt if I can get 700 more out of it. You guys must never twist the throtle the whole way! You bitches can take the bike over 4,000 rpms. Don't be afraid to spin the rear wheel.

Our lady of blessed acceleration, don't fail us now. D207 lasted 1500(1000 running in, 500 mental), 010's that are on it now are fucked, there's 3200 showing on the clock. The BT's are a far superior tyre!!!!.

I ALSO HAVE ABOUT 1000 MILES ON D207 AND THEY ARE STARTING TO SHOW THE WEAR. I JUST COMPARED THEM WITH MY BUDDIES WHO JUST PUT A NEW PAIR ON HIS BLACKBIRD AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE. THIS IS MOSTLY 1000 BREAKIN MILES SO I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO GET MORE THEN ANOTHER 500 ON THEM BEFORE ITS GARBAGE TIME. I RWALLY DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS BUT I GUESS ITS TRUE THIS FUCKIN THING WILL EAT TIRES.

Absolutly, it eats tires, but so did my Busa. 1300 miles on each of two 207 rears was all I could get. Went to Pilot Sports---great tire--better lean in-- dont know about the wear yet, but they were expensive as hell.
