There is no scheduled replacement mileage for bearings.  Even though anecdotally we've seen several failures recently bearings are still a low MTBF part.  Personally I'll change mine at the closest tire change after 50k miles.  For no other reason than "just  because."

Replaced the 08 SERK front bearings at 51K and replaced THE 11 FLHXSE2  at 41K. The ABS sensor on the left front requires a much thinner bearing thus the shorter life expectency.
