I really liked the Pirelli P7000 Supersports I had on my '94 900SET. Had great traction, especially in the wet. But they get noisy when they get down to the wearbars. Their treadwear is merely acceptable. Mine lasted about 15k miles, which included some track time. I did have 2 sets of P7000 Summers and those had better grip all around, but their treadlife was about 10-12k. I tried the Supersports hoping I'd get the same kind of traction with longer treadlife. The Summers have a UTQG of 160, the Supersports are 320 (higher number is better for treadwear).
I'd consider the Bridgestone RE730s too. I think very highly of my Bridgestone S-02s and would lean toward trying these out-as they are priced nicely in comparison to other tires.
