Was there history with it and were the valves ever checked. It is either 2000 miles away from being checked or 14000 miles over due.
However the valve clearances can be pretty stable on them, but would be nice to know and have peace of mind.
The main reason for the expense is that the cams need to be removed and installed twice and there are 4 of them to complete the checking process and not many of the smaller shops will have the Vtec locking tools.
Great workhorse and comfy tourer although I preferred the pre vtec to ride as I did not like the Vtec kick, have a friend who had a silver one and loved it. He put 12000 miles on it and the vtec kick never bothered him.
Enjoy it.
