OK I am now on my 6th dipped headlight bulb!!
Anyone else having this issue.
I've tried changing brands and also tried a xtra bright version. They all seem to last about 3 months max.
Thinking about going the HID route if this carries on.

I've lost 1 bulb in 2 years and I only found out when I got the bike serviced.

How many miles have you covered in that time please.
Also, Is the headlight permanently on like on the European models?

My bike came with a hid dipped beam as the previous owner swears by the safety benefits of the bike being more visible.
Having ridden in a group when friends have had a go on my bike I'd vouch for this. The hid really does stand out even when in a group of bikes a long way behind & with just a quick glance in the mirrors.

I've just hit 40,000km (25,000miles) and yes the lights are on all the time.

I'm sorely tempted to go that route. I'm sick of changing bulbs!
