I checked the oil level before i take it for a ride:it was about half.
I rode about 20 miles.

Next day i check the level again,and then I noticed that is on a MIN level.
I cant imagine that a Honda can eat so many oil at only 20 miles!

The bike always on the rear stand when i chek the level.
Doesnt come smoke from the exhaust.

What do you think about that?

And sorry for my English
I would check for leaks, and also check your plugs for deposits. but that much in 20 miles is ridiculous. There absolutely has to be a leak, or the oil hasn't settled completely, or you are putting the bike on a stand in different places? incline or decline?
I would suggest checking the level off of the stand balanced because the rear is raised like 3" when on the stand, and in the exact same spot every time.
Good luck!

If it's not smoking or leaking anywhere, it's something else but not a problem. I would do an oil + filter change and just ride it. Observe the oil level before and after every ride.
