Should get 25+K miles out of that one.

If you care at all about decent handling, don't go the "darksider" route. That's for people that are so incredibly cheap, they will
severely compromise their bikes handling for longer tread wear.
Describe, in detail, your experience riding darksided motorcycles. Be specific.
I've tried more than a few bikes with car tires mounted on the rear. Granted none of the bikes were Sportbikes to begin with, but the car tire invariably made the bikes handle poorly. Tire squirm, lack of traction, reluctance to lean over in the first place, I could go on.
If saving a buck at the expense of a well-handling bike is of utmost importance to you, by all means go ahead.
