they are not going to because almost all of them fall within hondas "tolerance" of one quart per month.

I still think it is funny that the 2008 1krr burns/ uses so much oil. My old 1998 F3 never used oil and I rode the crap out of it and wrecked it 3 times. My fathers old 1984 1100 Goldwing used less then a quart between oil changes. So the ? is why do these brand new bike's have a 1quart per month allowance. I thought Honda was better then this. I guess i was wrong. Not to mention I could have bought a 2008 zx10 for 8k or a 09 zx10 for 11k rather then 11k for my cbr. I guess I should have done some more research.
