Do you have a specific example of a bike you're looking at?
Some bikes will need valve adjustments (which can be a bitch but debatable) but otherwise, the usual stuff like chain & sprocket, oil changes, brake fluid flushes, cable adjustments, and the like (the list goes on) is standard.
I believe general rule of thumb (?) is that most standard Japanese sport bikes require some kind of service interval every 10,000 to 15,000km. Having said that though, some people perform seasonal tune ups every year. There is no right or wrong. Just depends on how much time/money you have.
