Take offs are cheap, but are a hassle to change every 500-800 miles unless you have to run them and change them yourself.
A super sport tire will give you about half the mileage of a sport-tour tire and for most of us the ST tire will work just as well in 99% of street rides. I am running Bridgestone BT-021's (not 020) on my CBR600 and I have no trouble sticking with riders on SuperSport tires, while sport riding. I just buy fewer tires, less often...
Those look like a good tire.....
