I change mine at the end of every summer season before she goes into hibernation for the winter usually at about 1,500 to 2,000 miles.
Not a good idea storing a bike for months on end with dirty acidic oil in the mill.
But wouldn't the new oil sit gathering condensation all winter?.

I'm not sure but I would still prefer clean oil in the engine than dirty acidic oil if it is going to sit for 5 months.
Oil in a can that its in the shed next to the bike does not get full of condensation so not sure why the oil in the bike would condensate.
Condensation in oil usually occurs because of short runs with the engine not getting up to temperature and the cooling down again.
