I think they were thinking "hey, this stripe looks cool and has a retro feel. let's use it" I don't think they thought "it's not in keeping with the stripes of older Hondas, but were going to go with it just to pizz off the purists" (Although, I bet Honda used a similar stripe on some Honda at some point in the past--it's a pretty common design that has been used on cars, boats, and motorcycles for years).
