Same here. I'm going through rear tires lately like it's an 800 pound bike. I'm not hardly wearing the fronts but the rears are going at around 4 to 6 thousand maybe.

4-6k. Holy cow! Riding two up? Not a thin built guy? Holding the front brake and smoking the tires?

What we are witnessing verbal evidence of is a 'stretch the throttle cable' syndrome. Seems the better the bike runs the more taut the throttle cables get.
