@nigel s - my neighbour's Diavel has done 25k+ miles......it hasn't 'blown up', the two issues he's had other than routine servicing, has been a dry suspension bush and a warped brake disc.
The 1200 Multistrada that I had use of for a week in Spain, had done 50k+ kms......it hadn't blown up, the only issue with that was a bearing in the rear hub.
Considering the hp output of modern cars, they have big oil change intervals although they don't have the gearbox oil crunching up the oil molecules.
Modern oils (and fuels) do their stuff (reducing carbon deposits) and catastrophic failure of any motorcycle brand is now rare, yes, even Ducati (another neighbour owns a Ducati franchise, he doesn't have any horror stories).
