Hayabusa rear tyre
Discussion
I found this while googling
http://www.ridetriangles.com/pdf/535/203114.pdf
Page 29 of the scanned article talks about tyres.
BTW I currently have 014s on my 06 Blackbird, can't fault them, though the rear probably won't last that long. :-)

I use Michelin Pilot Road 2s on my BMW K1200S. IMHO they grip as well (wet & dry) as the BT014 that were on there before and have already lasted over 5000 miles with probably another 1000 left in the rear. Not sure if they do a 'Busa fitment but check out the Michelin web site to see.
I would match whatever is on the front .
Avons ride remarkably well on the busa , the vypers .
I liked the old AV 49 fronts as they had a high profile which really helped turn in the bike , they dont make them now so i grabbed a couple when they got scarce .
I have a vyper rear for scratching and i fit the high mileage storm when i need to do a long motorway trip.
Other guys are liking the michelins on them also .
You will run out of clearance before you run out of tyre grip, if your fairing is getting down , then look for very sticky rubber

The OE BT56 "J"s (its important its a "J")where designed for the bike, apart from a higher wear rate than say a BT020/22 I couldnt fault them on road,track days and speed testing.I had my bike 5 summers and tried almost everything on it.The Avons where awful at low speed, the deep tread pattern causing the pick to noticeably white line over road imperfections,anything like a SuperCorsa or 010/014/15/16 will wilt rapidly under the torque and weight of the bike.
Interestingly when Performance Bikes did their 8 hour hi speed busa thrash last year they used BT56's as no other manufacturer could give assurances they would last the distance.

The old and first attempt Avon AV46 didnt suit a lot of people due to tread depth , it was just that particular tyre .In teresting that you couldnt fault the oe Bridgestones
