I see it the same.
For example. Three aircooled engines somehow similar but different concepts. RE: 1 cylinder with the oldest technique, W800: paralleltwin and CB: Inline 4, both having more modern engines.
All manufactures recommend different intervalls.
RE 6.000km oil and filter.
Honda every 6.000km oil, every 12.000km plus filter.
Kawasaki every 12.000km oil and filter. Or after 2 years what comes earlier.
What do I do?
Stick to the Kawa condition also for the CB.
With the Bullet I try to change within its intervall.
It's more important that the motor has enough oil,
should be the case in your case.
If I only would ride such less miles as you do, I would only change every second year 'cause the oil is nearly unused.
Maybe not even that often.
It's your decision and money but no guarantee from my side.
