lol, well the first 1000 was a break in period, i never took the bike over 6000 RPM for the first 1000 miles. The tire is worn fairly evenly, of course the center is worn a little more than the sides. I do ride fairly mellow because of the traffic, but when given the right conditions I'v been known to open it up, I have had the bike up to 175 MPH coming back from Daytona.
