I had a pair of Avon Storms STs fitted to my FJ1200 about 3/4 years ago and then stored the bike for about a year whilst I was working in Thailand. I expected them to need replacing when I got back but despite looking a little blue and shiny around the edges they scrubbed back in nicely and seemed fine, I ran them without drama for a few thousand miles.
Obviously the Storms arn't a premium choice for a blade but FJs are a powerful lump and give any tyre plenty of grief (96ft lb of torque, 130bhp and wet weight of around 580 lbs) so perhaps not entirely unsuitable. I wouldn't hesitate fitting Storms to any bike to be honest.
