Is the BT54 available in appropriate sizes for the ST?  Users on the BMW
list report much better lifespan than with the 57's.  I have the BT54's
on my R11RT and with over 5,000 miles, the rear shows very little wear. 
The front is more worn, but should make 8-9,000 I would guess.  They may
not be appropriate for ultra-aggressive riders, but I have found their
performance to be very good under all conditions.
