109,900 miles on my ST shaft when I sold the bike. Only thing it used was 5.2 oz of 80-90 wt oil couple times a year and grease the splines when replacing the rear tire with an ounce or two of grease. Typical on the ST forum where some guys have 3 times that mileage on their ST's without shaft drive issues.
My original chain and sprockets on my CB lasted 36,909 miles. Which really isn't bad.
Still a chain is the correct drive system for the CB.
And a shaft is the proper drive system on an FJR, or BMW R1200RT, or a Kaw Concours IMO.
