I replace my rear pads around every 7,000kms as well.
I think it all depends on the type of riding you do. IE: If you do a lot of touring then you don't use brakes but clock up the kms but if you ride around the city and take off fast and stop fast at all the lights and the idiots cutting you off then you tend to use the rear brake a lot harder than normal.
I'm sure you have all taken off real fast only to catch the next red light and as your squeezing the brakes harder and harder the adrenalin starts to pump and you think @#%$ i am not going to stop in time, I'm going to die . Just one of the downfalls of riding the meanest mother of a bike in the world
BTW My front pads get a real work out but still have heaps left on them at 18,000kms.
