Jeff, I am sorry about your bike. I know you had a lot of fun with it. I use Michelin power 2 CT on my bike. I got 8K miles out of the first set of tires with 1k left on the tires. Tires are not as safe at the tread indicators. You need good tires when riding a sports bike. These tires came with the bike. These tires had no road noise and grip good in rain and corners. I use the oil that came with the bike and the bike does not burned any oil. I may have burned 3 oz of oil in 7K miles. The oil is BMW racing oil that came with the bike. The only problem I had so far was the battery at 7K miles. It would not crank over when the bike was hot. It was replace under warranty.
