I dont ride around like a pussy either. That 12k was done in 5 months all over Europe, loaded up , and camping sometimes. Im a bit puzzled by this .....
On my 1150GS I was getting over 20K from a Metzerler Tourance (Not EXP)
I'm always very confused with huge mileages out of rear tyres. I seem to get 5500 to 6500 miles out of them incl the Tourances on 1150s in the early noughties. Never had more than 6.5k. Ever.
20k ? How?
