Default When do i change a timing belt?

I would appreciate if anyone would tell me how often I should change the timing belt. It is running the original one right now with 117K miles on it. I have heard 50K-60K you should change it. So this car is twice the distance with no problems? Am I lucky or missled, or is it just that genuine HONDA quality? Thanks guys!!
