If you are looking for a high milage tire, you might want to go with the lower speed rated tire. I think the stock bridgestones were a rated a K. The higher the speedrating, the softer and sometimes stickier tire. The high speed rating will wear out a lot faster then a lower speed rating. None of the BA/SM need a V rated tire, yeah they do look cool and will handle a little better but at the speeds these bikes travel you'll be fine with a lower speed rated tire. If you do a lot of riding above the 100mph range then the you'll notice the better handling characteristics of the V tire.
