I bought my bike new in May 2013 and have done 6000km and the rear brake pads are worn to almost minimum!

I must admit that I do like to twist the throttle, hence I need to stop quicker than normal. I use both brakes and the front pads are worn 50%.

I do not ride with my foot on the brake and do about 60/40 tar/gravel.

My rear tyre (Anakee 2) has worn about 50%.

A new set of pads at BMW = R537. - any other options without compromising quality?   

My question - is this normal brake pad wear?

Thanx for your response
