If you ride the bike like a jap thing with a wet clutch then it could easily wear out in 4500 miles, if you ride it like an italian bike with a sensitive clutch than needs looking after then 15-20,000 is possible.

When you say looking after it do you mean not holding the bike in gear when stopped and avoid slipping it when starting off or is there some other tips that you might be able to share ?
