either what cansa said or dunlop GPRa-10's. Also depends how often you're going to use it. If you plan to use it alot, you may find you're better with something like Bridgestones bt092 or bt021. I have the 021's on at the moment and, although they do slow the turning slightly, they wear very well and are surprisingly grippy

If Suzuki choose to put them on a Hayabusa from new thats good enough for me.

Good all round grip with good technology.

Usually get about 2000 out of my Busa rear as long as im good to it.

They can cost a little more than others though, pays to shop around.

Is that better bendog66 :smt002
