How the hell did you get 9000 miles out of a rear tyre on a 1250 Bandit?

I use Michelin Pilot Road 2s. I don't hang about but I get into top gear and stay there most of the time. I like the low down grunt and had the same from the GTR but much smoother.

Oh by the way, I don't believe on-board computers. My car lies as did the previous one. I use a spreadsheet for my figures. Anyone else?

I rode a new GTR today and was pretty impressed apart from the bars which I found too low and the mirrors which gave a great view of the handlebar ends.

Does anyone out there keep fule consumption figures? (I mean over a period of time and not guesswork  :) ). Fuel isn't going to get any cheaper and I get 51 mpg from my 1250 Bandit. Also, will I get 9000 miles from a rear tyre like I do now?
