Cheap pads are just that, cheap. My experience with over 35 years of automobile and motorsports experience is that those cheap pads are made of a really hard material and will chew up a rotor in no time. There are a good amount of choices out their for the EBR/Buell bikes, EBC, DP, sbs, Brembo, Ferodo, go with a proven product, don't skimp on brakes, tires, oil, oil filter, chains, sprockets or air filter.
I bought a set of them to keep in the garage for when riders beg for spares...
Brakeworld also provide premium quality brake pads, brake rotors in your budget.

Forget Ferodo . Dual sinter lasted 2 sessions, started to fragment .
Can we do a rating on pads from experience ....
Vesrah..expensive progressive bite , require lever pressure, resistent to heat and easy on rotors. 8/10
Brembo dual sinter.....good bite , heat resistant, wear quickly . 6/10
SBS 856ds ....agressive bite, require little lever pressure, handle heat well, destroy rotors and gall up when really hot. 8.5/10
Ferodo ds ...... poor feel, toast when to hot . 4/10
Std pads .....Ok , but wont last a track day 5/10
Bit of a disaster really , what else is out there and how do you rate ?
EBC pads... but I've got them on the rear, so I can't say for sure. and I ride 100% street currently.
Still have DP Brakes, i have bought a couple of sets of race pads, but have no tried them yet, I really like the sbs 856ds race pads. I have the same rotor starting 3rd track season. I guess Barber, Road Atlanta, Little Tally and Jennings don't have much in the way of hard braking zones so rotor is holding up fine for me.
