The later versions (they're @ v3 now) should ride even better, but it's a fine testament to the design that Michelin are still selling the original Road some 10 years later !

I'm testing the 2nd generation right now, looks durable so far (at 12000km). I predict similar life (=like your PR1s' on your bike - Teresa has only 50 horses and I don't even rev her, but a single is anything but smooth
) before reaching the wear marks.
Metzeler Z6 was another type of touring tires that lasted quite long - I used a set for 28000km | 17000+ miles. MPR2 looks better so far - and it feels better on wet and cold roads.
I know a girl with another F650CS who mentioned that the Pilot Power 2 is surprisingly durable too!
