I'm thinking about getting something better than the BT-015's which I have on the busa now, been considering the Bridgestone s20's, anyone tried these on the Busa and how much life did you got out of them?

Mine have done 3700 and idd say maybe 1k left in the rear.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
5000km front and rear.
What about the T30?
Very happy with my T30's but I avoid rain so they have had minimal wet use. Were OK when moist (best word ever?) but to be fair I drop my speed when damp (contender word).
Ron Haslam uses T30s on his CBR Hondas at his track school, so he rates them. Mine have had a pretty fair test over various conditions, but for me, the number of little front end slides and rear breaking loose on wet shiny patches has eroded my confidence in them. My PR 2s never behaved like that and they are an older tech than T30s. Kms up to 6500 now.
They really worked on my 600. But a busa..?
Not sure. They feel like a light bike option to me. But then I don't ride big bikes anyway so what would I know?
Nevertheless...
I went to a PP3 on the back recently. OK - solid tyre but lacks the sparkle of the S20. It feels heavier and takes longer to move. Less connection through the bike to me. But the first one seems to be wearing well enough and that is why I bought it in the first place. But it feels like it needs a bigger bike than a 600.
Would I use one again?
Sure. Very good at what they do. Grip and wear in abundance.
Which tyre would I prefer to ride on if they were all free?
S20. No contest.
But that's on a 6.

I've got a pair of s20's on the sv1000
they came with it a month ago, so I'm not exactly sure of the km's they've done.
But lifespan would be the only possible issue I'd have with them, They've got fantastic grip in all weathers
warm up really quickly, and so far I've not seen any sign of the big v-twin tearing them up.
would I replace them with same? yes.
