Same here I have an 09 Stocker lasted me 4K miles, no burn outs, just aggresive riding wheelies and double speed limits on turns.
I like my Micheline 2ct also.
Would help to tell us what your riding style is, weekend warrior at the dragstrip, running a turbo pushing 500HP, Daily communitor... Help us out if you ask a question.

Sounds as we ride our Busas in the same style.
I just put on the Michelin 2CT and I can say its a better tire
then the stock BT. I have more confidence and over the weekend
I touched the pegs a few times and wore some of my boot away
on some turns. Smoothness... Well you just cant beat Michelin.
I like it. It grips awesome, I cant say how it is in rain, but its sticky
and smooth I only have about 200 miles on it so far. It hasnt begun
the blister effect yet. I will say it is a better tire then the BT

Just spent 6500 worry free miles on a set of Metzler m-5's.
Committing to a set of Pirelli Angels next.

I'm running a bt021 right now, it seems to be doing better then the dunlops for me, thinking about trying the angels next. I ride about 70-80 miles a day during the week and 200-500 miles on the weekend. I think I am going to go for the angels next though.
That's not very descriptive... I think everyone on this site could say the same.
As paLVBusa said, the right tires for you depend on many factors involved in your riding style. If you answer the questions he posed, it will give everyone a better idea of what you need.
My Busa is my daily driver and I do a lot of day long trips as well. Lots of straight lines on my commute (where most of my miles are spent) but, lots of twistie mountain roads on the weekend. I needed something that has longevity for my commuting/touring and is still able to offer decent grip in adverse weather. There is a trade off in grip when you go to a harder, longer lasting compound tire.
I just picked up a pair of Avon storm 2's, they seemed to offer the best characteristics for my needs. They have softer compound patches on the sides for corners and a harder center for the straights.
I have not mounted them yet so I can give no real feedback but, there are plenty of guys here running the same tires with the same riding style as myself and they seem to love their Avon's.

Avon Storm Ultra 2's
Just turned 6k miles with 2.5mm of tread left in the centres. These are awesome tyres for the UK weather / road combo. Angels were good in the dry but useless in cold temps.
I don't wheelie (don't know how to) but lots of knee sliding and power sliding out of bends, I don't class myself as a fast rider but i don't hang about
