Try Mitchelin Macadams but make sure you warm them up (20Km+), or any other long wearing tyre, before you test the cornering capabilities.

I had a Macadam 100x on the front of my 1100. 12000kms and it had hardly worn. Frankly, that started to worry me as to it's potential grip performance, so I changed to Z6 both ends when the rear came up for replacement. Loved them.

What sort of riding do you do?
WMCC have a good deal on some Metz Sporty tyres - check with crasherfromwayback.

Try a set of Azaro's ,rear lasted me 16k on a ZX12 and replaced it when it was starting to square off, I've been pretty happy with them

The Macadams? If so, you will find they last well, but don't attempt anything dodgy unless they are well warmed first.

If you're not going for the sporty tyres, try the Metzeler Z6s. Pretty good wear if used predominantly for commuting, and enough grip for them to hold the road when you want to fang it. Plus, they're very confidence-inspiring in the wet. Not cheap though.
