72 miles per day minimum. I run an old stock VS800 Dunlop Qualifier (picked 2 up on clearance for $36 each) and the bike had a Shinko 712F front when I bought it. The Dunlop I put on when the bike was still in Pine's stable... Good wet weather traction, great wet weather braking. I've put a bunch of miles on it in under 2 months, had 7157.5 at purchase, now has 9240 and change on it.
100/90-19F, 140/90-15R
My last set of Dunlops (D404) went over 40K miles on a Vulcan 800A, which is a good bit heavier and has a lot more power. Some Savage folks have found them to be lousy, but if ran at 40psi front and rear they are great tires. Get Made in USA or Made in Japan Dunlops ONLY... if the tire sidewall has Korea, China or Taiwan on it, demand your money back. The K-C-T made ones are garbage, no better than ChengShin, Maxxis or Shinko low end tire lines.
I will not be buying another Shinko 712F, it has a max sidewall rating of 33psi and is very soft. It won't last very long, already leaves a rubber dust trail on the sidewalk where I park at work.
