I recently switched. I haven't noticed a difference except in my peace of mind.
What exactly were you expecting to "notice"?

Lol, you change your oil every 3 months (3k mile) and you're wondering why it still looks clean?!? Well no kidding it still looks clean, it's barely been used!!!
The Owners Manual even lists changing the oil every 10K (km).
I'm all for good maintenance and everything, but damn man, your just pouring money down the drain changing your oil that often! You could easily and safely double that to 6k miles between changes.
Never ever heard of a recommendation for 10k km, 5k is normally whats recommended by most dealers/mechanics I have spoken too, particularly with cheap oil. (5k km = 3k miles too)
I also prefer to change my oil more refrequently, and don't appreciate you being rude. You obviously have modified your bike, which also may be considered pouring money down the drain but I don't see anyone jumping up and down accusing you of needlessly wasting money. (Thanks for your VALUABLE opinion there)
The type of riding and storage conditions can have a huge impact on how long oil lasts.
The fact the FZ6 is known for being practically bulletproof certainly helps, but alot of people probably have come from other bikes without such a good rep that have needed alot more care, and it certainly is never wasted, particularly when so many people just ignore their bikes till something goes wrong.
