I guess we travel in different circles. My Ford Fusion's recommended interval is 10K, Dad's 2010 GL1800 does 10K (Blackstone labs verified), I'm quite certain my ST1300 would do 10K just fine if I cared to, many guys in the GL1800 community go 10K, and the list goes on.
Definitely not trying to ignite a flame war or (God forbid) another oil thread. Just saying that it's definitely not unheard-of.
These ST's don't contaminate oil anywhere near as bad as a whole slew of bikes on the road. My CB900C couldn't even make 3000 miles because it contaminated oil so badly. My GL1200 was only good for 5K max. When I do a 5K oil change on my ST, the oil still has honey brown color to it. These engines just run clean.
