Many new cars now ship with full synthetic and have 10,000 mile intervals. I've never gone anywhere near that on the bike, but since our oil isn't shared with gearbox/primary I wouldn't think it picks up contaminants at a rate that much quicker than a car. I guess if the drain plug is catching a lot of metal, short intervals would be a good idea (but not as good as fixing the issue)...
