When we get our next oil change at the Honda dealership is it reasonable to ask them to inspect the timing belts condition?
no
Why?
You'll get laughed at.

Another good reason.
Timing chains last much longer than belts. You really don't need to think about replacing them until you get up around the 150k mark.

ugh, some misleading info, the 6g accord i am pretty sure the timing belt has it's own cover, you do not need to take off the valve cover to look at it. It is a pain to remove even the belt cover though.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, the most recent timing belts have something like 100K service, whatever the manual says. The ~60k/3 years was a long time ago for older models.

I own a 2001, same car. You have to do what i said. I remember doing it, was a hell of a job.
Edit: You are right it has its own cover, but it has a notch that the valve cover slides over when it is placed on top.
inspecting timing belt = removal of the timing belt cover = potentially more things to be screwed up by mechanics.

It happened around 12/19/2002 as for why you'd have to ask the AT Mods.
What was my defining moment for when I "saw the light" and discovered hot deals? In late 1998 a friend recommended I buy DVD's from buy.com as they were only $14.99 - coupons - eBates with free shipping. Then I searched the net for more information and joined my first hot deals forum (dvdtalk.com), it was all downhill from there.

A few things to consider here...........
#1.) Ross.........don't worry about it. 25,5K ain't nuttin'. I wouldn't even THINK about it 'til 50K, unless it's been 10 years. (FWIW, my Gen4 Camry was changed at 96,000 and only 'cuz the belt was starting to rattle against the belt guard at idle)
Also..........yours is a non-interference motor, so no worries about valvetrain damage.
#2.) For the guy asking about the Olds timing chain. Hard to say. There's "old" timing chains and current timing chains. Older (Pre mid 90's?) DO need changing around 150K.
#3.) Newer style timing chains, however, are designed to go 200, 300 or even 400K (?).
But Ross, you are fine......no worries!

my vw jetta 1.8t is 105k for a manual ... they just released a new statement on autos at 70k or so on vw's.
peopel say around 60k...shrug...I am nearly at 90k on my jetta with nearly no visible ware on my timing belt.
