I am in the USA
BMW OEM (brembo) $200 for Front
BMW OEM (brembo) $100 rear

From what I have been reading online EBC motorcycle pads wear out pretty quick. I have had similar experiences with EBC Automotive brake pads

CL is best compared to OEM BMW if not slightly better
CL $75 for front
CL $39 for rear

I am currently at 32k miles on my 2017 RT

Will give CL a try

Cheers !

Some Adventure Rider members reports on Carbone Lorraine pads, https://advrider.com/f/threads/bmw-brak ... ot.348792/

"I just received Carbon Loraine pads and feel that they are as good (if not better) as the much more expensive OEM pads".

I used brembo red ones look great and there faster.

I used SBS CERAMIC pads on my 96 K1100 LT for years. They stopped well, delivered no dust to the wheels and kept the discs from wearing. What's not to love? Conversely, I used ebc front pads when I could no longer find the SBS any more. The ebc pads wore out both my discs and the pads really fast and my silver wheels turned black in no time. I would love to try the SBS pads on my 15 RT if I could find them. I think they are readily available in Europe. (I'm in the US).

Ive used EBC HH pads for years. I like the feel and the price. I do agree they produce a lot of dust. When i bought the bike it was OEM pads with plenty of friction material but i found the EBC superior in feel at the lever and better stopping bite
