So whats the best way to go about one of these when the bike is in another city? Get him to take it to a honda place? Get a bike mechanic to go to him? Or get some beer thirsty part-time forum whore to go thrash it for me then tells me it goes hard

Don't bag the honda...it's a step up from the hyosung!

I would ring a local honda or other motorcycle shop and ask them to do a inspection getting him to take it to them. It should cost you no more than 30 minutes labour which you should be able to pay with a card over the phone, getting a mechanic to go to him will likely occur a call out charge or charge you for there travelling time.

I could look at it for ya but not until next Feb when I visit NZ. I will probably need about a month to evaluate it properly...

Worth finding out where it has been serviced and also ring them for a bit of background.
