Thanks amigo for your reply,now going to change the oil!!
yes they are exelent bikes(tornados), i like the 6 gears it has.
Some people say HONDA brasil is less quality then honda japon,
But with 30.000km it is as good as when i bought it, these bikes
are perfect honda quality.
Anyone traveling to Latin America should look at this bike as a option
to travel on!!Light ,fun,fast, good looking, parts everywhere....
O.k. ....now i am really gonne change the oil......
entonces...hasta luego amigo!!

Honda Tornado Oil Capacity
Anaconda,
1.5-1.6 liters without changing the oil filter.
1.8-1.9 liters with filter change.
They seem to run better on Castrol than the Motul 5100.
The Motul seems to foam up on long rides and suffers thermal breakdown about 500 kms sooner.
Paper filter elements should be replaced every other oil change.
With the Castrol semi-synthetic, you can safely operate 2500-3000 km intervals.
I agree with you, they really are great bikes!
I have about 35,000 kms on mine and never an issue.
