Depends entirely on what type of riding you are going to be doing and whether or not you want to sacrifice mileage for grip too ;)
However Twins wreck tyres fast (same as chains and sprockets :D )
Honestly you cant go wrong with the 2CT's from Michelin, i get at least 3000 out of a rear on my RSVR.
The Pilot Road 2's that Faceslider has mentioned about in another thread seem to be a good buy too, he has them on a Tuono and he isnt shy of messing around throwing a bike about :)

Yep, I tore the arse out the bike on saturday afternoon and I didn't have one slip or slide, but i only got these tyres as I do a lot of millage. If i didn't have to commute I'd probably go for the Pilot powers 2cts I've had the pilot powers before and there really good. Had them on my track day and they were great. Other than that i haven't really tested out any other tyres, oh I had Bidgestone 020's on my Bandit and they were good, especially in the wet, but as Lateshift said you can't go wrong with the pilot powers:grin2 :grin2
