About how long (miles) should stock f/r rotors/pads last?

As I was riding on a makeshift track yesterday I sometimes noticed a slight squeak under heavy braking.

NOTE:
* On a 1-10 braking scale where 10 is super aggressive (i.e. track day) I average about a 7 for the first 8000 miles.
* I almost never use the rear brake...I only hit it a few times to warm them up when first starting out in case I need them later for emergency braking.

Thanks.

It really varies from rider to rider and riding conditions. I've got 21K on my bike and the factory fronts look great. I've changed the rears twice. Second time was at 19K

my 05 has nearly 40k miles, stock rotors
a couple times i let it go a little too long, and wore some grooves in the rotors.
install new pads, tolerate the noise a while, it goes away

As with cars I'm sure the rotors last longer but how long before the pads usually go?

I usualls get 10-12K miles out of a set of pads. Rotors have almost 40K miles on them and still going strong.

About 30,000 miles on stock front pads.

Still on my stock rear pads, over 51,000.

Again, over 51,000 on stock front rotors, but I think they're warped. I get a shudder/vibrations when I come to a stop.
