    Ermmmmm, well.........Yes and no mate. Some do, Some don't. 08s seem particularly troublesome so you need to subscribe to either of two houses. One says that an engine in this state of tune will, as needs must, burn oil in the normal course of events. The other house says that the best engine manufacturer in the world is copping out when it claims the above and there must be a fix that they are not willing to fit the bill to supply.

    And never the twain shall meet.

    Pick a number Jimi.

    Just keep an eye on it mate. It either won't or it'll go down noticeably quickly. Keep some top up handy and don't get lulled into Japanese dependability as far as its consumption. It's a known issue and Honda claim its normal to burn it so not worth pulling your hair out over as long as you keep on top of it.

    Agree with ken, that's the colour scheme that I saw and knew I wanted a blade, and welcome. Top marks for posting pics on your first post :)
