Contact Honda - I'll bet they'll pony up something.
That's awesome though!

Honda isn't going to give him anything. The 200K is basically undocumented and uncontrolled running conditions. If they tore the engine apart, it wouldn't indicate anything concrete.

When I rolled 200k on my Pontiac Grand Prix I emailed GM and they sent me a license plate frame that said "Over 100,000 miles of Pontiac driving excitement"

It wasn't much but I thought it was pretty cool.

I'd have another but they don't make 'em manual tranny anymore.

Really? I think 100k is the break in period for a Honda or Toyota. And that's if you drained the oil out when you bought it. GM doesn't have high hopes do they.

Yeah not so much. I haven't gotten less than 150k out of any if that counts.

Uh....no. They don't care. They already have accelerated mileage testing, but on bikes who gets to 200k anyway? It isn't a selling feature.

You might get a license plate though.

Particle Man may just be right here....of course the plate frame may be for a car. hahaha
