Though to be fair, not all 08's are oil burners. My 08 doesn't use oil unless I'm running it over 5000 rpm for sustained periods, like a highway trip or something. Even then, I wouldn't call it's use excessive for a big single.
I didn't find out that some of the 08's were oil burners until after I had already gotten mine or I probably would have went for a different year. Lol, that might have been kind of tricky though, because I horsetraded my minty Shadow ACE for it!
No regrets, if it did turn into a mega burner, oil is cheap! As long as it still ran well and didn't throw up a smokescreen I would just keep adding. If it bothered me enough I would do the 685 kit on it.

Reason: I use the word "though" way too much!
