I hear you. Mine is even higher maintenance than I'm used to, with valve clearance checks due every 3000 miles. The valves are ridiculously easy, though. If they didn't have the 630 when I was shopping, I would have looked elsewhere. I think the DS that's the next size down from mine has 8 hour oil change intervals. The people that own those bikes ride about 90% singletrack and don't put down tons of mileage. I have to be able to ride mine on the highway all day if necessary.
