Default Brake pads

What set of brake pads, and rotors do other cbr1krr riders use, and how like them? Recommend or not recommend? And riding style as aggressive and hard on brakes or simply casual?
I'd imagine would want a bit softer pad to increase rotor longevity, or does that not even matter?
I'm at 26k miles on stock orm rotors that don't see much wear.
I'm looking to replace with EBC Double sintered pads. Or other suggestions for me to consider?

Those pads will work better than stock.

Don't worry about wear. Just replace rotor with Galfer 420-stainless rotors that will last 2-3x longer than stock.

Not sure about stock pads for the liter bikes, but the ones for my F4i were good. I switched to EBC sintered when it was time and, while they were okay, they were not really an upgrade, just a different "feel".

As for rotor wear, mine were well within spec when I sold it with almost 34k on the odo. Mostly street but 8-9 track days as well as well as a decent amount of emergency braking practice...
