Qual, M3, BT015, Corsa III, Conti Sport Attack, PP, and PP2ct are all great tires.

I have tried the BT-15 before, I really didn't like it, and I got bad milage out of it too. On the other hand a few guys I ride with love it and get great milage out of the things, and they have almost the same weight and ponnies as my busa through on the rider and for sure they out weight the busa.
It really comes down to how you ride the thing! I like the twisty stuff so I have to have a soft tire or deal with the rear wheel spin coming out of a corner, manageable but not preferable. If your not pushing it in the twisty you can get away with a harder tire, the BT-15 is not a hard tire.

It's a softer tire than the stock front one.

well i've got 7200miles on the stock rear so i'd be more than happy with a stock battleax

Your stocker is a BT56...the BT014 is a good tire.

Are you locking for just a rear? If so stay with the BT56...if you need a set, the I would recommend...no particular order, there are all good

Bridgestone  BT014 or BT015
Metzler  M3
Pirelli Diablo
Michelin Pilot Power
Dunlop Qualifier
Continental Road Attack
Avon Azaro
