Honda recommend the oil is changed after 1000km and every 4000 km after that. I hear a lot of comments about changing the oil every 1000km by 'the local mechanic'.
I entrust my servicing to the Honda main dealer so I get the recommended lubricants and not not some recycled oil from someone elses oil change.
Optimum km range for changing oil in any bike should be 1000km or 6 months which ever comes first. The oil in a motor is designed not only for lubrication but also to keep the engine clean, if you leave oil in a motor for too long than you are lubricating your motor with dirty oil, oil also loses its viscosity to lubricate and that is why there is a time span. Both oil companies along with manufacturers have increased there oil change (servicing) intervals to some silly kilometre and time spams, sometimes common sense prevails. Use a good quality oil, no need to buy the top of the range and maintain your bike
