Others will tell you they have run theirs a lot longer (and I'm sure you can as all my top ends done around 85hrs have still been in spec).

If it was my bike I'd be giving it a full fresh top end in the off season to ensure a trouble free run next season. If you just want to get the head done, you really don't need to even bother pulling the cylinder. 2 fresh o-rings for the head and thats it.
I'm a fan of having multiple scoots. There is no off-season at my house.
