I put Bridgestone Battlelax on my 750 the other day and so far so good. Not sure if they are R11 though. The first tyres only lasted 5,000 kms They seem to start off with a half thickness tread. My mates new Harley road king seems to have half thickness tread as well. Anything for the factories to save a buck I suppose.

I have been using michlelin pilot power for a while but wanted to try something else. Pilot powers aren't the longest lasting for me but they seem to stay put and are confidence inspiring in that way. As far as Harley Davidson specifically, I am a hd technician in the USA and they ship to us with dunlaps stock with about 8/32" of tread. I'm not positive if that's the case in other parts of the world. I typically see between 10k -15k miles between rear tire changes for the average rider.
