I would have no problem going the full 8,000 miles on the same filter, with an oil change in between...IF I HAD TO. I trust that if Honda believed this filter should be changed with every oil swap, they'd say so. You just need to let yourself get out of the old thinking, and realize how much better the oil and filters are today than they were 20 or 30 years ago.
But...I'll quickly admit that I am like most other people, and will change the filter at every oil change. It's a $15 dollar filter on a $10,000 dollar motorcycle.
Plus, around here, the municipal trash goes to an incinerator, where any scrap metal is captured and recycled. No landfill worries for me...just keeping Honda in business.
