A deep groved sealed ball bearing. Don't get the shielded bearing, make sure it is the sealed bearing. They will last you 50k+ miles...

The wheel bearings have standard numbers stamped on them. You can get replacements at any automotive store.

Addy: I've found that my GS bikes have had Nachi, Koyo and NTN bearings. The seals were NOK except for one very odd one that was 30.5 mm (Nobody measures half milimeters...). If you are trying to stay OEM you should be able to find these brands very easily where you are and anywhere else in the world.
