3,000 miles here. With as much as your oil lubricates in a bike; not sure I'd want to risk anything. 3,000 may be over(under)kill, but I'd rather be save than sorry.
I rolled over 3k, from when I bought the bike. So I was going to do it then but decided to check with the Pro's

Nope, I normally don't go over 12k RPMs. Riding in VA Beach, there is no need for more. By then I'm probably already speeding.
And Thanks for the info, I am just going to go ahead and change the oil.
I got a quick question. My service book tells me to change oil every 8,000 miles.
Are you looking at miles or kilometers? I made that mistake by looking at kilometers in my user manual, but realized the (miles) was below it in parentheses. Damn Japs.

Im pretty sure it was in miles, but i'll have to double check now that you said something.
