I shared that with a friend who rides a gold wing, and he had a huge question mark about that. And my other bike –also a big Honda– gets me about 13 or 14K per rear tire, and I think that girl tears 'em up pretty quick. So my question is how are your guys rear tires holding up--is 10K about right for a drifter 800? I'm thinking no, I should get more life than that, but it no doubt depends a lot on the type of riding you do – I'm doing mostly city and rural roads, not freeways, and all solo. I've been running her about 35 PSI for the rear. I imagine the brand of tire has something to do with it too – OEM was Bridgestone on there, and I just purchased a Dunlop for the replacement.
