I just had a major service on my 2007 ZX10 - 40,000km. Not only does the bike still feel like new to ride, but the valve shims were still in tolerance. Yep, 40,000km an not ever needed the valve clearances adjusted.
Mal has a ZX9 with over 160,000km which he punts round the track, my old CBR600 had over 70,000km and pulled hard at the track...
So 30,000km is just getting started.
Use semi synthetic oil like Motul 5100, change it every 6,000km, swap ya filters, fluids and plugs every 12,000km and it'll run reliable for a very long time.

07 ZX10R since new, tracky TBA, KX450F, 87 CR250 restoration, GT MTB - I've got serious thrill issues, dude
