I really don't know how many miles I would have been able to squeeze out of them. I traded the Kaw in for a Heritage not long after putting them on the Kaw. The stock 402s on my heritage are still holding up well after 6000 miles. I hear the Commanders and Elites will give you the best mileage, but that just from what I've read on this forum.

I would look at the Metzeler ME 888's, The Michelin Commander II's and the Dunlop Elite 3's. In that order if the size you need is avail

The ME888's don't seem to come in 200mm rears.

Same tires. I was happy with them. I put new brake rotors on and decided to replace the tires while the wheels were off. Otherwise they might have made it a few more months.

Aussie, not to run you around, but I had a Honda VTX 1800 that ate tires for breakfast. I had purchased a 200mm Battle axe tire from Bridgestone. It was the 020 series and maybe a radial. This model may have an updated series number, but they held up well and price was low.
