The rear Conti on my SV1000 has ~6500/7000 miles on it, gone a bit square now - but that's down to the use it's had of course, loads of town commuting - but I'm very pleased with how long it's lasted, I guesstimate another 1500-2000 left in it. Front is barely marked.
I'd be interested to see how long they would last on an SV 'Lite' :D , less weight and torque could possibly even make these 10,000 mile tyres.
Initial inpressions of grip and handling have been reinforced in the time I've had them, and they are particularly good in the wet.
I cannot possibly understand what 'issues' have been raised over these tyres, they are excellent all rounders, particularly so in the wet, sensibly priced and definately long lasting, these are very clearly tyres intended for road use, and their function is obviously biased toward that, if that's what you need, buy some, I heartily recommend them for that.
If you want tyres that are shagged in 1500 miles, so that everyone can see what a 'geezer' you are, spend your money elsewhere.
