6k!!!! A friend had BT014s on his ZX6R and didn't get great tyre life - he switched to BT020s in the end.

I've never had more than 2 - 2.5k miles out of a rear That was on a ZX7R though, which is quite heavy. I sold the TLR too quickly to replace the rubber, but the brand new rear was VERY worn after 1 hard track day. I sold it with both tyres munched and bobbled right off the edges heheh. Hopefully the R1 will give me decent tyre life as it's lighter with nice smooth power delivery. I got 600 miles out of the worn rear tyre that it came with, and it had another 50-100 miles left (it was JUST off the markers) but I got a puncture. Not bad really as it only had 2mm left when I bought the bike.
