I change mine every 5000 too.  I'd say you have some excess material there.  I'd check it out by removing the primary cover. 

Is your clutch working fine and the bike shifting good?  Do you ride two up a lot or pull a trailer?  It looks like clutch particles to me but just a lot more than I would expect.

You might consider doing a search for a post I put on some time back. I believe it was "Look at the amount of metal on my drain plug" the photo showed the metal to be more like chunks rather than finely ground up metal like yours.  I took the photo to 3 dealerships and they all said it was normal.  I change my oil myself and have never seen that much metal before but they all assured me it was normal and they would not take it any futher.  I could have pushed it but why have the same people who think it was normal do the repair.  I ended up taking it apart my self and found stripped needle bearing on the clutch hub.  I would agree with Jim without any hesitation. 

Everything is normal to them.  We make fun of it here often but it is because they continue to call some serious issues normal. 

Hope you find your problem.
