I've just had a look at FZ1Girls maintenance log she did make the switch to fully synthetic but not until 175,029 miles. I'm not sure why she made the switch, I've read that switching on a high mileage bike may not be a good idea as the cleaning agents can lead to any carbon deposits built up over time breaking free and causing issues with blocked oilways and filters.
For me I'll stick with the manufacturers recommended semi-synthetic, I change both the oil and filter every 4,000 miles and I'm pretty confident that this will see me through the lifetime of the bike.
