Why the surprise? It's a Honda!  8)

I say that only partially in jest, it is impressive but you'll see more than a few hit those numbers. Cool that this one did it while so young.  :)

Obviously didn't know that, thanks Mick. Didn't drive last time I was there, took the tube to the pub and was packed in like a sardine!

Impressive to be sure, but I wonder what impressive service history means. Is it that the bike was well maintained, which must be so, or that it needed an extraordinary amount of work to get this much mileage on it? Still impressive no matter what!
