    Just wondering what sort of mileage I'd get out of a front and rear on
    a Kawasaki GT750.

    It's got a pair of Maxxis Hi-Max that are 3000 miles old - will they
    last another 2200 miles they're going to get this weekend?

    The Guzzi and I could kill a rear Bridgestone in 4000 but I've not got
    through a set on the Kawasaki so would appreciate some data, TOG?

    I reckon they'll last ages on a GT - although it's not a light bike, it's
    also not overly powerful.

    <sucks teeth> Depends. Are you going to be trying to keep up with LN?

    Bear in mind that constant-speed running on the autobahn will be less taxing
    that hammering on like a **** in the twisties.

    Should be fine - tho the GT is a bit hefty, it's not too powerful. I
    used to get good mileage out of mine, but that was back in the 80s,
    and tyres have moved on since then.

    remember to go round corners a bit to spread the wear over the whole
    surface, then they'll last longer.
