Anybody tried these? Im going to buy these to replace the Bridgestones when they wear out. Do they wear fast or about like the Stones? weeeee

I run the M-1's on my 954. They are fantastic tires IMO. They have great grip and wear very well. My front has about 6000 miles on it and had just started a small cupping. The rear has 5000 and the center is just getting to the wearbar now. I really like the profile of them and the bike handles very well with them. I have used the stock Brigestone 012's, Dunlop 207RR's and now the M-1's. So far these are my favorite. I just purchased soem Metzeler Rennsports and am going to be putting them on soon as a trial before my track day.

Just ordered my M-1's yesterday. My brother and a few riding buddies run them and love them. I was impressed how well they held up at the track compared to my Pilots. I,ll let you know what I think once I get them mounted.

I've run M1's quite a bit and agree with previous comment. Most excellent tire. I haven't gotten anywhere near the wear out of them. I get 2500 rear. No burnouts, just hard ass twistie riding. Another very good tire that I find almost as good that you might cosider is the Perelli Diablo. Not quite as sticky, but still conficence inspiring and prob. a little better in the rain. I got about 3500 mi out of the Diablo. It's also quieter than the M1 which sings to you a bit. My Diablo's were a little less $$$. But the M1 is an awfully tough one to beat.
