sounds about right with the mileage. great tire for sport touring
in my book you won't be disappointed

Actually, as far as Michelin's tire line up.... the Pilot Power is almost a strictly street tire...
They describe it as a 95% street 5% track tire...
Even the pilot power 2 CT is considered a 10% track tire...
You should end up with a reasonably good tire life actually as your riding will be almost entirely in the medium hardness tread all the time...
There are 3 tires above it going progressively towards more track worthy...

Pilot Road 2 is the one for sport touring.
He is asking about the Pilot Power 2CT.

I just put the 1st set on my bike, so far I love them. I hope to get about 5k. A buddy had them his bike and he wore them out in 3k. But I dont ride as hard as him.
IMO they are the finest tires I have ever had....gone through 3 sets so far and average 4-5 k and that including some track days.....LOVE THEM!

I have had 2CT's on both my bikes. Previous owner installed them.
I personally would opt for the regular Pilot Power tires. The side edge of the 2CT is the only difference, and I almost never venture there on the streets. So for normal commuting and weekend rides, the PP and the PP2CT will have the same exact tire wear but one costs less than the other.
I think a lot of people have the misunderstanding that the 2CT is softer in the center, so they think it wears faster because of it, or that the 2CT has more grip for normal riding, not just in the turns.

+1, I've had a couple sets and I get around 2k from the rear and maybe 3k from the fronts. I got the same mileage from the power as the 2ct as well. I usually run 36 to 38 psi front/rear depending on temperature/conditions.
They're a decent tire and I think they stick pretty well for a knee down when they're new. Even if I road slow and conservative I wouldn't see how some folks are getting 6k to 7k out of them though.
Seems to becoming more common to run a sport touring rear to get some mileage, with a stickier tire up front to keep the front planted.
SV650 is a MUCH lighter bike with about half the torque of a Busa...it should last a lot longer on a smaller bike.

Well sir that's gonna depend on your riding. I'm fairly aggressive and could get 5-6K on a set.
