Ive had mine since April... they work pretty good on the street.
Ive done some serious straight up riding (averaging 100mph+) and at 1300 miles.. they looked pretty good. The rear would have gone 2600miles + if I hadnt done 2 one minute long burnouts...lol
As for mountain roads.. I cant see getting more than 1000 miles out of a rear.. 1600 out of a front if you push hard.
They are 100x better than the 208s that came stock on my bike.

what kind of traction are they giving in corners.....do they give enough confidence for 130+ mph sweepers? what about really tight stuff? I dont care too much about mileage, I want traction, espicially when leaned over at maximum lean angle......the M-1 ar4e working great so far, adn I will stick with them until someone can convince me there is something better out there....I have run the Pilot Sport HPX's, the Pirelli Dragons, the Dunlop 208's, and so far I am the happiest with the M-1 with a 190 Rear.....

When in doubt, lean farther and go faster....

I liked them in everything.... but I have a 180 on the back. JonWright complained that they went away too quickly. I felt abit uneasy on higher speed sweepers (90+)... but it could have been that I didnt have enough tire underneath the bike. Im going to try a 190 next.

I am really liking running the 190 under the back of the bike right now, and the M-1's are workign well.....I think you will be happy with the 190, I havent found anythig wrong with it yet....
