I mostly rode pretty conservativly, I've learned from talking with other FZ1 owners, who used theirs for commutting just like me, but with 1/4 the distance commutes but got double the tire life. I think short trips don't heat up the tire and they last a lot longer, my commute got them up to heat, soft and sticky (using sport tourning tires) and wearing faster per mile.

Later got a Concours ZG1000, still only commuting still got 45 mpg and 10,000 rear tire life. ZX600e 45 mpg, 250 Ninga 60 mpg, KLR650 45 mpg (50+ if I'd kept it near 55 mph). All but the Concours I took the 1/2 back road 1/2 freeway route to work. Concours all backroads.

Should have stopped buying trading with the first one I bought, the KLR650 and kept it on the back roads, and it had cheap tires, only 4 valves to check, one carb to clean.
