Sorry to hear about your bike but, something's not right here...
Not to sound like a naive ignoramus, but could the dealer petition Honda Motor Co. to cover the cost of repairs since it's such a low mileage machine with no obvious evidence of neglect or abuse which may indicate a deficiency of materials and or workmanship?
I know of a Yamaha dealer several years ago who did this for a customer's 3 year-old machine and they covered the cost of parts (not labor) in the repair. His machine was out of warranty as well. The manufacturer may have information that has not been disseminated publicly. Wishful thinking?
Just a thought.
P.S. I'm closing in on 87,000 mi. and the motor's not been touched other than a valve check at 18,000 mi. which all were in spec.
