Do to the small diameter wheels on these honda forzas how far are you going on your tires? I went aprox 10000 kilometers or 6000 miles on almost all motorcycles I've owned so far,I know it depends on how aggressive you ride and road conditions and speed ,tire pressure ,brand of tire etc ,but just trying to get some info ,also I really liked the michelin city grip tires I had on my sh150.

6000 miles on mine and the rear is almost done.
Front is fine.

All good after 2k but I'll be happy if I can make it to 6k then I'll get them both changed. Cheap riding !

I assume the 6,000 miles are riding slow enough as to not actually use the brakes?

Try riding along with the throttle wide open then pull the brakes on, what happens, do you go faster or slower?

My view is that I've paid all that money to go - why stop?

Indeed, conservation of energy and all that geeky physics stuff.

Road surfaces can make a large difference also.
Riding local on tar/gravel & asphalt roads mixed, I get 4-5k US miles on rear.
Same tire, same bike, same rider (me), I can ride 10k+ with same rear on highways.
I do not go wot. I drive about 60 mph on the highway.
