Remind me why you bought a Busa?

Looks like you riding it like a scooter.

[jefferycarman]

Do you buy squared off tires?

 

[BigBSBusa]

Lean that thing over a little bit!

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

I have never had the tits still on the side of the tires after 100 miles or so!!!

 

[roadthing]

Time for a new rear tire. How's the front looking?

Turn that thing Dude

If you ride around in circles...first to the left, then to the right...you should be able to get another 9K out of that tire

 

[dewie]

Congrats on the mileage, but, you know, you can make a turn evey now and then. You don't always have to ride in a streight line.

 

[Hayabusa Fury]

I have seen locomotives that lean more than that while turning!!!

You could probably squeak some more miles out of the front. I would recommend changing them as a set though.

I think that a sport-touring tire would serve you better, Billy. Your riding style is perfect for something with multiple compound construction. If you keep putting hyper-sport tires on your bike, you'll just keep squaring them off, and wasting money. You want a high-mileage (harder compound) in the middle. You will get more mileage and more bang for your buck, even if you simply opt for a tire like the Bridgestone BT-021.
