Wait one: that depends on what tires you choose to put on your
sportbike and how you ride it.
The BT-020s on my NT700 have still got plenty of tread (1/2? 1/3?)
left with over 8,000 miles on them, and those same tires on a lighter
600cc sportbikes should last at least that long if they're being used
primarily for touring instead of scraping pegs in the twisties.

Hardly unusual to London despatch riders. I used to do 2000 miles a
month, or thereabouts, on a sub-250cc bike.

"Despatch rider?"
Oh, you must mean "advanced chav training."
That's where you learned to talk and act like a street thug.

At the risk of coining a phrase, my irony meter just broke.
