tires opinions dunlop 607

I have an 06 klr 650. I will do most of my riding on blacktop and I was looking at the Dunlop 607. Is anyone out there using this tire? What are your opinions on wear and handling. I was wanting a tire that was a longer wearing tire. My stock tires are wearing faster than I would like them to at 700 miles.
Thanks
Shawn

Shawn:
I tried the D607s on a long road trip and was quite pleased. Great
grip and cornering, stable on straights. The only cornering
limitation was my brakes. I was able to hang with my slower sport
bike buds, at least 'till they got to the long straights, horsepower
ya know

Got 4,000+ miles and had enough left to save them when I
changed to Conti TKC-80s for some dual sporting. I and my left 10th
rib can tell you the 607s are a little iffy off road, at least for
me. (no fork brace, btw)
