Well, I guess that depends on the way you ride.
I think that travelling at high revs requires earlier oil change (but no
sooner than 5000Km). You can delay that if you don't drive like there is no
tommorow. You should have in mind that using your @ in a town means that you
should change the oil earlier - the motor works for long periods while the
bike doesn't move much. Of course, if a year passes without completting
5000km (is it possible with an @?) you should change the oil anyway.
I personaly use semi-synthetic oil 10-40 and change it every 5000Km (clearly
out of love - I treat my @ gently) and change the oil filter every 10000Km.
