Hi from the Pacific NW
I just got my first SH last month, a 2005 that only had 1700 miles. The thing is completely stock (a nice blank slate!) and I love it! This is a great forum and I have been meaning to post on it since I bought the bike. Thanks for all of the technical discussions too, I already had to replace the R/R (pretty lame for how low milage it was). I just went with another Honda R/R for now, although I did read up on the R1 replacement. Otherwise, it runs like a dream.
Looking forward to some more posts here! Talk to everyone soon.

I notice your's is Titanium too, the fastest color (Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise).
It looks like the previous owner did trim the rear fender, that's a must for looks. I've got 22,000 on my '05 with the original R/R, so I guess I should keep my fingers crossed.

Congrats and welcome aboard! I have you beat in starting mileage, mine had 56 miles at 3 years old when I bought it 
Its not real common for later model "finned" R/Rs to fail - can't say the same for the earlier years though.
