My bike is a real slider.  The rear tire is worn away on the ridge at the
end of the tread.  I was doing a bit of sport riding two-up this weekend and
the passenger (who is an experienced sport rider said the bike was pretty
loose.

  I have Dunlop 207GPs on my Ducati, but they don't wear so good.  The new
Daytona comes with BT56s and from riding with a friend (and riding her bike)
they feel better than the 57s.  They still wear pretty good also.

 Let us know what you put on there and how it works out.
