Mine has 8200 miles on and has been dealer serviced according to the schedule.
Never had a single problem with it.

There's about 9300ml on mine and only problem was with the pgm-fi that was soon fixed by the dealer. Serviced according to schedule and extra oil changes in-between. Runs fine but is getting a bit slower - rev limiter kicks in at indicated 60mph whereas before it was indicating 65mph when it happened. This might be the rubber band getting tired - I went up a 25% incline pass (Honister in Cumbria) and found a lot of strange black dust on the cover and body work above, afterwards.

Go pop? It's a Honda. Keep the oil clean and a water-cooled motor should be good for 250,000 miles or more. You'll be sick of replacing tires and drive belts long before the motor shows any wear.

5300 miles, not a single mechanical issue thus far.
