Pete.
Pete, we always have a tire thread or ten going. ;-) Take a look around & do a search or two & you should find some good tire recommendations. You need to determine what type of riding you will primarily be doing first. Ie. will you be doing commuting, occasional twisties, track, or some combo of them? Then, make your selection based on those criteria.

Personally, I'm running Dunlop Q2's on my bikes right now. I do all of the above riding & find the Q2's to suit my needs. They have dual compounds (harder & more durable in ctr, softer/more grip on outside edge). The Q2 tread pattern is more suited for twisty riding. However, it gets great mileage for commuting/city riding as well.

If you're looking for more of a commuting/sport touring tire, the Dunlop Roadsmart or Michelin Pilot Road are both good choices. They also have the dual compound technology but have more of a all-weather/commuting tread.

Of course, there are other choices from other manufacturers such as; Bridgestone, Pirelli, etc.

Good luck w/ your shopping.
