Need a Non-Ducati Commuter Bike - Which One Should I Get?

[jimboecv]

... Replacing sportbike tires add up to a lot of cost.

I put Pirelli Diablo Stradas on my KTM 950sm and they've gone 6k and sill have a few thou to go.  They're heavy, but they're drama-free.  I'd get another set to commute/twisty on in a heart beat.
